- Title
Dynamic Form: How Intermediality Made Modernism by Cara L. Lewis (review).
- Authors
Najarian, Jonathan
- Abstract
We're reminded of Albright's ideas about the harmony and dissonance of modernist interart practices: it would not be right to say that modernist artists had a uniform response to the rapid expansion of early twentieth-century aesthetics. This is not, as Lewis makes clear, a straightforward return to "the ahistorical, apolitical posture" of New Critical formalism after a long sojourn through New Historicism; rather, like so much new formalist scholarship, Lewis seeks to provide a definition of form that is attentive - and even gives shape - to political power ( I Dynamic Form i , 11).
