"This book takes a new, interdisciplinary approach to analyzing modern Viennese visual
culture, informed by Austro-German theater, contemporary medical treatises centered
on hysteria, and an original examination of dramatic gestures in expressionist artworks.
It centers on the following question: How and to what end was the human body discussed,
portrayed, and utilized as an aesthetic metaphor in turn-of-the-century Vienna? By
scrutinizing theatrically "hysterical" performances, avant-garde puppet plays, and
images created by Oskar Kokoschka, Koloman Moser, Egon Schiele and others, Nathan
J. Timpano discusses how Viennese artists favored the pathological or puppet-like
body as their contribution to European modernism."--Page i
