> At the beginning of the twentieth century, shortly after Nietzsche's
> death,
> artists in all the principal fields of artistic endeavor knowingly and
> openly adopted the philosopher's aesthetic ideas and used them to
> revolutionize art. In this paper, the authors will examine principal
> practitioners of the visual arts, literature, and music to locate
> Nietzsche's influence, an influence that made much of Modernism possible.
> It
> is an influence that has not been exhausted. Although over the last 30
> years
> much argumentation has been devoted to announcing the death of art, a
> study
> of Nietzsche's aesthetic thought reveals the project that initiated
> twentieth-century art has yet to be realized fully. The authors will
> demonstrate that Nietzsche's writings can be distilled into an aesthetic
> philosophy that charts future possibilities for an art devoted to
> revealing
> the truth of the world and that such possibilities are continuing to be
> explored by contemporary artists.
