This volume considers how ideas were made visible through the
making of art and visual experience occasioned by reception during
the long eighteenth century. The event that gave rise to the
collection was the 15th David Nochol Smith Seminar in
Eighteenth-Century Studies, which launched a new Australian and New
Zealand Society of Eighteenth-Century Studies. Two strands of
interest are explored by the individual authors. The first four
essays work with ideas about material objects and identity
formation, suggesting how the artist's physical environment
contributes to the sense of self, as a practicing artist or
artisan, as an individual patron or collector, or as a woman or
religious outsider. The last four essays address the intellectual
work that can be expressed through or performed by objects. Through
a consideration of the material formation of concepts, this book
explores questions that are implicated by the need to see ideas in
painted, sculpted, illustrated, and designed forms. In doing so, it
introduces new visual materials and novel conceptual models into
traditional accounts of the intellectual history of the
Enlightenment.
