This book uncovers how we make meaning of abstraction, both
historically and in present times, and examines abstract images as
a visual language. The contributors demonstrate that abstraction is
not primarily an artistic phenomenon, but rather arises from human
beings' desire to imagine, understand and communicate complex,
ineffable concepts in fields ranging from fine art and philosophy
to technologies of data visualization, from cartography and
medicine to astronomy. The book will be of interest to scholars
working in image studies, visual studies, art history, philosophy
and aesthetics.
