The Grotesque in Art and Literature, Wolfgang Kayser

Description: The Grotesque in Art and Literature Wolfgang Kayser Format Paperback Published January 1, 1981 by Columbia University Press Used - Condition LIKE NEW The art of our own day shows a greater affinity to the grotesque than that of any other epoch. Modern novels, modern paintings and sculpture are replete with grotesque features. In this modern classic of criticism, Wolfgang Kayser traces the historical development of the grotesque from the Italian Renaissance (which originated the word "grottesco") through the "chimeric" world of the commedia dell'arte, Sturm und Drang, the age of Romanticism and nineteenth century "realism," to its modern forms in poetry, dream narration and surrealist painting.
