Painting, according to Jean-Luc Marion, is a central topic of
concern for philosophy, particularly phenomenology. For the
question of painting is, at its heart, a question of visibility--of
appearance. As such, the painting is a privileged case of the
phenomenon; the painting becomes an index for investigating the
conditions of appearance--or what Marion describes as
"phenomenality" in general.
In The Crossing of the Visible, Marion takes up just such a
project. The natural outgrowth of his earlier reflections on icons,
these four studies carefully consider the history of painting--from
classical to contemporary--as a fund for phenomenological
reflection on the conditions of (in)visibility. Ranging across
artists from Raphael to Rothko, Caravaggio to Pollock, The Crossing
of the Visible offers both a critique of contemporary accounts of
the visual and a constructive alternative. According to Marion, the
proper response to the "nihilism" of postmodernity is not
iconoclasm, but rather a radically iconic account of the visual and
the arts that opens them to the invisible.
