Abstract English Discusses Julius Meier-Graefe's Entwickelungsgeschichte der modernen Kunst [Developmental history of modern art] (1908), one of the most influential books in the early history and historiography of European modernism, in relation to the creation of a canon of modern art. Takes it as an excellent case study because it was written and rewritten over many editions and a crucial translation into English. Posits that Meier-Graefe's understanding of Vollkommenheit ("perfect completion") in regards to artistic masterpieces is emblematic of the logic behind the structuring of the canon. Pays attention to Meier-Graefe's changing attitudes towards the decorative in painting and towards the work of Courbet.
