The unachieved desire for modernity: visions of Baudelaire, Freud, Nietzsche and Woolf.

I would like to direct my research on the use of memory or history to the development of the vision of modernity in these authors. And one way of doing this, from my perspective, is found in the aesthetics of the work of art. Modern art is the constant representation of an unfinished and unachieved desire for the making and practice of modernity. From the literary and philosophical-scientific work, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Freud, and Woolf build knowledge about the modern, while in parallel, modern art is being developed. My question is: Is this possible? Is there an aesthetic of modernity, from the ideas of these thinkers, represented in the modern work of art?
