Description

Jacques Rancière explores how art represents and shapes our understanding of historical events. He examines the ways in which images can both reveal and conceal aspects of the past, and argues that these representations can have a profound impact on our understanding of history. Rancière considers the role of art in representing key moments in history, including those depicted by artists such as Goya, Manet, Kandinsky, and Barnett Newman. He contends that every image contains both what it shows and what it hides, and that these hidden aspects can be just as revealing as the visible ones. By examining the ways in which art represents the past, Rancière reveals how images can both imprison and liberate history, depending on their interpretation.
