Invisible Cathedrals

Invisible Cathedrals, Volume 1, centers on the influential work of Wilhelm Worringer and his role in German Modernism and Expressionism. This art history text examines key publications like Abstraction and Empathy and Form Problems of the Gothic, while also exploring his lesser-known essays from the 1920s. The book provides a detailed revisionist analysis of Worringer's significance within European art and culture.

The volume serves as a comprehensive guide to Worringer's impact on diverse fields, including psychology, film theory, and social theory. By treating him as an activist scholar, the text highlights how his historical criticism influenced the production of art in his own era. This scholarly work on individual artists includes an extensive bibliography of Worringer's writings and the resulting academic criticism.
