The Crossing of the Visible
Marion, Jean-Luc / Smith, James K. A. Ranging across artists from Raphael to Rothko, Caravaggio to Pollock, "The Crossing of the Visible" offers both a critique of contemporary accounts of the visual and a constructive alternative. According to Marion, the proper response to the 'nihilism' of postmodernity is not iconoclasm, but rather a radically iconic account of the visual and the arts which opens them to the invisible.
