For the question of painting is, at its heart, a question of visibility--of appearance. As such, the painting is a privileged case of the phenomenon; the painting becomes an index for investigating the conditions of appearance--or what Marion describes as \"phenomenality\" in general. In The Crossing of the Visible, Marion takes up just such a project. The natural outgrowth of his earlier reflections on icons, these four studies carefully consider the history of painting--from classical to contemporary--as a fund for phenomenological reflection on the conditions of (in)visibility. 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 that opens them to the invisible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem# 9780804733922\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Dealer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smith, James K.
