"I" and the "Eye" [PDF ebook]
The Verbal and the Visual in Post-Renaissance Western Aesthetics

Support

Cover of Pragyan Rath: "I" and the "Eye" (PDF)

The paradigmatic moment of the opposition between the verbal and the visual arts may be seen in Lessing’s treatise on the Laocooen sculptural group, written in 1766; a moment that is identified within a historical framework of modern aesthetics that begins with Lessing, goes through Pater, and then culminates in Greenberg. The author delineates the opposition as a history of diffusions, displacements and idealist reparations of class division.
