In the end, it becomes possible to see Expressionism, Primitivism, and

Modernism as a method that failed to elude the reterritorializing structures of the status

quo. No longer do we need to see the Modernist movement's slide away from

signification as an abandonment of praxis, but can see it as pioneering another path for

escape (even if that path was ultimately cut off). The becoming-animal can serve as a

bridge between the competing sides of the realist /modernist debate and can provide us

with historical view of the Expressionist and Primitivist movements that does not stress

the aesthetic character of their debate, but rather stresses the revolutionary escape and the

reterritorializing machinery that came into play in the 20s and 30s.
