Produktbeschreibung

Luca Del Baldo's Visionary Academy of Ocular Mentality is an extraordinary testament in the recent history of visual studies. It brings together a group of outstanding scholars who have devoted their lives to art history, philosophy, history, ethnology, focussing predominantly on questions of human perception and imagination. Working from photographs provided by the scholars, Luca del Baldo painted his series of 96 portraits reproduced in this book. The portraits are accompanied by texts written by the persons portrayed, in response to their portrayal, and as an exchange: the artist gifted the original painting to the portrayed person, and the portrayed gifted her or his response. "The result is a unique and profound conversation between image and text focussed on the enigma of the human face in all its mediations." (W.J.T. Mitchell)

Rezensionen

"I think I can safely say this book is unique. Del Baldo's concept is brilliant and possibly opened more 'cans of worms' than even he thought at the start of his project. Taking over 10 years to complete, this book is the result of what seems to be a 'labour of love.'" (Robert Maddox-Harle in Leonardo, 12.2021)
