He was one of the last great court artists and at the same time a
significant trailblazer for modern art: Francisco de Goya. The
Fondation Beyeler is preparing one of the most extensive
exhibitions of his work outside of Spain. In his more than
sixty-year-long career, Goya was an astute observer of the drama of
reason and irrationality, of dreams and nightmares. His pictures
show things that go beyond social conventions: he depicts saints
and criminals, witches and demons, breaking open the gates to
realms where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. The
show gathers more than seventy paintings, around sixty masterful
drawings, and a selection of prints that invite the viewer to an
encounter with the beautiful, as well as the incomprehensible. The
extensive catalogue examines Goya's unique artistic impact in texts
by renowned interpreters, and splendid photo galleries.

Diagrams are an essential part of the most diverse processes of
communication and cognition. Indeed, today the production of all
kinds of text (including this one) is mediated by diagrammatic
tools to be found on computer desktops. Not surprisingly, then,
diagrams have become the object of much historical and theoretical
work. This book--volume 2 of the Proceedings of the 33rd
International Wittgenstein Symposium--is dedicated to this quickly
growing field of interdisciplinary research. It includes
contributions from philosophy, sociology (space syntax), art
history, and history of science. Historically, there is a focus on
Otto Neurath and his famous visual language (ISOTYPE), while the
new attempts at theorizing diagrams presented here are mainly
inspired by Charles Sanders Peirce and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

What is an image? How can we describe the experience of looking at
images, and how do they become meaningful to us? In what sense are
images like or unlike propositions? Participants of the 33rd
International Wittgenstein Symposium--philosophers as well as
historians of art, science, and literature--provide many
stimulating answers. Some of the contributions are dedicated to
Wittgenstein's thoughts on images while others testify to the
important role notions coined or inspired by Wittgenstein--"seeing
as", "picture games" and the dichotomy of "saying and
showing"--play in the field of picture theory today. This first
volume of the Proceedings of the 2010 conference addresses readers
interested in the history and theory of images, and in the
philosophy of Wittgenstein.
