Description

Explore the evolution of sensory experience in European Modernism with At the Crossroads of the Senses. This scholarly work by Polina Dimova examines the rise of synaesthesia, the blending of colors, sounds, and shapes, as a defining movement of the era. Inspired by Richard Wagner's concept of the total artwork, modernist creators sought to break traditional boundaries through multimedia projects that merged different sensory inputs. The book provides a detailed historical account of how synaesthesia moved from a scientific description in the late nineteenth century to a widespread phenomenon in the early twentieth century. It traces the development of these sensory metaphors across various art forms, offering a deep look into how artists perceived and represented the world. This volume is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in sensory history and the history of European art and culture.
