Abstrakt: This essay focuses on a rather unexplored side of sf history, namely the impact of modern art on sf iconography. The first section introduces new associations between modernist artworks with science fictional ideas and images. The subtle relation between modern art and sf has been largely ignored by the relevant literature, and this essay therefore aims to illuminate this overlooked association. The second section discusses the artwork of sf illustrators as an acknowledged expression of the genre that bears an implicit and sometimes explicit influence from the modernist tropes and ideas discussed in the first part. I argue that the science fictional ideas found in modernist artworks and sf illustrations can be considered as precursors to the imaginings of sf cinema. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
