FABBIAN, Gisela  y  CRESPI, Maximiliano. Carl Einstein and Cubism as a Historiographical Method. Estud.filos [online]. 2023, n.68, pp.161-172.  Epub 08-Ago-2023. ISSN 0121-3628.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.351769.

This work constitutes our first advance in the study of the work of the writer, art historian, critic, and German anarchist Carl Einstein. He proposes an analysis of the methodological, theoretical matrix on which he establishes his unique historiographical conception of 20th-century art, focusing on the period between the rise of the German expressionist movement and the avant-garde consolidation of Cubism. The proposed hypothesis maintains that Einstein finds in Cubism (especially in the works of Picasso, Braque, and Gris) a "method" for his model of critical historicization of twentieth-century art rather than an "object" of investigation.

Palabras clave : Carl Einstein; Cubism; literature; plastic arts; historiographic method; tectonic formas.
