For the question of painting is, at its heart, a question of visibilityof appearance. As such, the painting is a privileged case of the phenomenon; the painting becomes an index for investigating the conditions of appearanceor 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 paintingfrom classical to contemporaryas 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","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51892874215712,"sku":"NEW0804733929","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51csy2eEN3L.jpg?v=1781991083","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-crossing-of-the-visible-cultural-memory-in-the-present-0804733929","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
