“Transvisual” is a succinct term that describes a core theme dominating all of Carl Einstein’s work across different creative periods and textual genres. In placing his critiques of vision and language in the context of contemporary discourse, it becomes apparent that with his poetics of the transvisual, Einstein took on an important and unique position in the complex discursive network of modernity.
