Alan Paskow first asks why fictional characters, such as Hamlet and
Anna Karenina, matter to us and how they are able to emotionally
affect us. He then applies these questions to pictorial art,
demonstrating that paintings beckon us to view their contents as
real. Emblematic of the fundamental concerns of our lives, what we
visualize in paintings, he argues, is not simply in our heads but
in our world. Paskow also situates the phenomenological approach to
the experience of painting in relation to methodological
assumptions and claims in analytic aesthetics as well as in
contemporary schools of thought, particularly Marxist, feminist,
and deconstructionist.
