Supplier out of stock. If you add this item to your wish list we will let you know when it becomes available.
|
A detailed and inventive study of the thinking at work in modern
painting, drawing on a formidable body of scholarly evidence to
challenge modernist and phenomenological readings of art history,
The Brain-Eye presents a series of interlinked 'case studies' in
which philosophical thought encounters the hallucinatory sensations
unleashed by 'painter-researchers.' Rather than outlining a new
'philosophy of art,' The Brain-Eye details the singular problems
pursued by each of its protagonists. Striking readings of the
oeuvres of Delacroix, Seurat, Manet, Gauguin, and Cezanne recount
the plural histories of artists who worked to free the differential
forces of colour, discovered by Goethe in his Colour Theory, in the
name of a "true hallucination" and of a logic proper to the Visual.
A rigorous renewal of the philosophical thinking of visual art, The
Brain-Eye explores the complex relations between concept and
sensation, theory and practice, the discursive and the visual, and
draws out the political and philosophical stakes of the aesthetic
revolution in modern painting.
