The Formative Discourse of Fast Image Sequences Bibliography IndexReviewsLambert Wiesing's The Visibility of the Image is the most important book on the history of art history I know. It gives six case studies of six art historians: Zimmermann, Riegl, Woelfflin, Fiedler, Merleau-Ponty and Morris, in search of the roots of a certain version of broadly formalist vision of art history and an account of our engagement with pictures. A must-read for anyone interested in any of these six authors but also for anyone interested in (vaguely formalist) art history and our engagement with pictures. * Bence Nanay, Professor of Philosophy and BOF Research Professor Centre for Philosophical Psychology, University of Antwerp (Belgium), and Senior Research Associate Peterhouse, University of Cambridge, UK * Wiesing's landmark study reveals the deep historical roots of contemporary debates in image theory while at the same time opening up new philosophical resources. The reader is granted access to a distinctive tradition of enquiry that erroneously enriches our understanding of image perception. * Jason Gaiger, Associate Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory, University of Oxford, UK * A must read for anyone interested in the philosophical questions arising from pictorial representation. * Dominic Gregory, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Sheffield, UK * In this fascinating work - part history of philosophically-minded aesthetics, part rumination on the nature of images, and part exploration of how the possibilities implicit in that nature have increasingly been exploited by new image-making technologies - Wiesing offers a deeply informed and theoretically searching exploration of one of the dominant phenomena of our age. * Robert Hopkins, Professor of Philosophy, New York University, USA * Lambert Wiesing's The Visibility of the Image is the most important book on the history of art history I know.
