In Fugitive Objects, Catriona MacLeod examines the question of why sculpture is both
intensively discussed and yet rendered immaterial in German literature. She focuses
on three forms of disappearance: sculpture's vanishing as a legitimate art form at
the beginning of the nineteenth century in German aesthetics, statues' migration from
the domain of high art into mass reproduction and popular culture, and sculpture's
dislodging and relocation into literary discourse. Through original readings of Clemens
Brentano, Achim von Arnim, Adalbert Stifter, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, and others,
MacLeod reveals that if sculpture has disappeared from much of nineteenth-century
German literature and aesthetics, it is a vanishing act that paradoxically relocates
the statue back onto another cultural pedestal, attesting to the powerful force of
the medium.
