No pictorial device in nineteenth-century French painting more
clearly represented the free-ranging self than the loose
brushstroke. From the romantics through the impressionists and
post-impressionists, the brushstroke bespoke autonomous artistic
individuality and freedom from convention. Yet the question of how
much we can credit to the individual brushstroke is complicated-and
in Brushstroke and Emergence, James D. Herbert uses that question
as a starting point for an extended essay that draws on philosophy
of mind, the science of emergence, and art history. Brushstrokes,
he reminds us, are as much creatures of habit and embodied
experience as they are of intent. When they gather in great numbers
they take on a life of their own, out of which emerge complexity
and meaning. Analyzing ten paintings by Courbet, Manet, Cezanne,
Monet, Seurat, and Picasso, Herbert exposes vital relationships
between intention and habit, the singular and the complex. In doing
so, he uncovers a space worthy of historical and aesthetic analysis
between the brushstroke and the self.
