[audiobook] Beginning Design Technology by Mike Christenson at Arts-Photography

Description

A detailed and inventive study of the thinking at work in modern painting; drawing on a formidable body of scholarly evidence to challenge modernist and phenomenological readings of art history; The Brain-Eye presents a series of interlinked lsquo;case studiesrsquo; in which philosophical thought encounters the hallucinatory sensations unleashed by lsquo;painter-researchers.rsquo;Rather than outlining a new lsquo;philosophy of art;rsquo; The Brain-Eye details the singular problems pursued by each of its protagonists. Striking readings of the oeuvres of Delacroix; Seurat; Manet; Gauguin; and Ceacute;zanne recount the plural histories of artists who worked to free the differential forces of colour; discovered by Goethe in his Colour Theory; in the name of a ldquo;true hallucinationrdquo; and of a logic proper to the Visual.A rigorous renewal of the philosophical thinking of visual art; The Brain-Eye explores the complex relations between concept and sensation; theory and practice; the discursive and the visual; and draws out the political and philosophical stakes of the aesthetic revolution in modern painting.
