Works of art and buildings inherently imply movement. Not only is the action represented in an image or the dynamic unfolding of a motif of movement in architecture implied, but also the behavior of the viewer before a work of art. The present volume devotes itself to various facets of movement in the fine arts, as well as to its emotional impact - in paintings and photographs, but it also crosses over to the genres of film and performance, which include a temporal dimension. In these interdisciplinary essays, dealing with diverse media and epochs, the phenomenon of movement is requestioned using current theoretical approaches.
