The previous chapter found a missed prospect in the space of ‘Polish Action’, an awkward articulation of market possibilities with the incoherent stories of geo-politics. This prospect is of a particularly difficult way to live; there is a whiff of pathology in the disenchanted refusal of ambition and heuristic clarity sketched there, without even the bright blind energies of the figure of the adolescent to spark it with some kind of young hope. There is not very much will involved in the modernism discovered stubborn and persistent here. The present chapter will describe a contrasting tendency in modernism and in its relation to territories. It will register the will to form that works against the dissolving energies negotiated by the modernism of my previous chapter. If modernism as just described negotiates the realities of the world, it is also ranged against those realities. The present chapter will look at the movement of separation from the world, for which the abstract artwork is the emblem. The abstract artwork is quarantined against the world; my argument will explore the literal scope and the metaphorical resonances of this figure of quarantine. The desire to protect the will and the artwork from the world, a desire that is fundamental to modernist abstraction, is hedged by anxieties. I intend here to construct a social history of this quarantined will to form, and of its attendant anxieties. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
