ISBN: 9780972664929 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The need to describe the world around us is an impulse as old as the earliest cave wall depictions of running horses and wounded bison.

As a consequence of this evolution, the human imagination can claim innumerable--often epic--accounts built on...

The work of a supreme culture, they yet appear as much the growth of the common soil as the grass and the rushes. A tradition, where poetry and religion are the...

The Great Image Has No Form, or On the Nonobject through Painting
ISBN: 9780226415307 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In premodern China, elite painters used imagery not to mirror the world around them, but to evoke unfathomable experience. Considering their art alongside the philosophical traditions that inform it, "The Great Image Has No Form" explores the "nonobject"-a notion exemplified by paintings that do not seek to represent observable surroundings. Francois Jullien argues that this nonobjectifying approach stems from the painters' deeply held belief in a continuum of existence, in which art is not distinct from reality. Contrasting this perspective with the Western notion of art as separate... In premodern China, elite painters used imagery not to mirror the world around them, but to evoke unfathomable experience.
