The Triumph of Modernism by Hilton KramerBy Dan BoosIn The Triumph of Modernism; Hilton Kramer provides valuable insights into how the personal aesthetic belief systems of leading modernists meshed with and were driven by the philosophical and social movements of their time. Particularly interesting is Kramers assertion that artists were considerably influenced by such esoteric belief systems as H.P. Blavatskys theosophy. Kramers device allows us to not only acquire an understanding of the various artists intellect and emotional make-up; but further still; their spiritual psyche and more importantly; how their psyche is manifested in their workAn interesting read that would have been a dynamic work if visual representations had been included.Dan J.
