If the nineteenth-century mass print culture from which Ernst assembled his collages is emblematic of the social and aesthetic degradation against which modern art struggled for purity of expression, it must be remembered that these nineteenth-century forms are themselves multi-valent signs of urban modernity, even necessarily prior forms to much in the experimental arts of the early twentieth century. As I document in the following chapters, discourses of urban decay, the new, immediacy, and simultaneity are the initial cultural signatures not of the radical arts but of the mass print culture of the mid-nineteenth century. To the extent that avant-garde practice constitutes any sort of subversion of bourgeois culture, it is only so by degrees. The modernist pretense of innovation is itself historically derivative; the fetish of "the new" common to later modernism was itself constitutive of the emergent mass print forms of the nineteenth century. In contrast to the anti-bourgeois, modernist manifestoes of the early twentieth century, then, this book excavates the nineteenth-century idea of "the new" itself, as it first attains to mass expression. This recovery is a necessary first step if we are to adequately assess the modernist legacy apart from the polemical claims of its own manifestoes.
