Modernists like Baudelaire and Benjamin eulogised the flaneur haunted Parisian sidewalks, you know falling in love at first sight with that woman that passed you by on the Avenue de Foch but why fall in love at first sight, well...because you know you will never see her again
other cultural artefacts modernists were drawn to were cafes and reflector sunglasses (cool)
where you could see them but they could not see you a means to
a form of aggressive power.
