Description
Visual Time: The Image in History explores how time is perceived and represented in art history. This approach challenges traditional Western notions of modernity and offers a new perspective on the discipline.
The author, Keith Moxey, argues that the experience of viewing art creates its own aesthetic time, where the viewer is engaged by the work itself rather than what it represents about the historical moment when it was created. This concept is illustrated through discussions of modern and contemporary artists, as well as sixteenth-century figures.
By examining the phenomenological turn in the study of the image, Moxey addresses the ways verisimilitude eludes time in both the past and the present, and the role of time in nationalist accounts of the past. This book provides a fresh consideration of the idea of time in art history.
