Explores what we actually see, touch, and experience when looking
at art. Typically, art history is an enterprise of recovery--of
searching out the provenance, the original intentions, the physical
setting, and historical conditions behind a work of art. The essays
in Compelling Visuality address some of the "other" questions that
are less frequently asked--and, in doing so, show how much is to be
learned and gained by going beyond the traditional approaches of
art history. In particular, the contributors take up the commonly
unexplored question of what is actually present in a work of
art--what we see, touch, and experience when confronted with
Renaissance or Baroque works that have survived the vicissitudes of
time. International and interdisciplinary, this volume conducts
readers into an ongoing discussion of the value and significance of
personal response to works of art.
