Book Synopsis Subject as Aporia in Early Modern Art by : Alexander Nagel
Book excerpt: This volume focuses on early modern paintings, sculpture and other artworks in which subjects have been difficult to define, which constitute potentially or actually visual aporias. Using specific examples as case studies, contributors analyze borderline visual cases in which subjects are "smudged" either due to the convergence of discordant elements or to a dearth, insufficiency or ambivalence of iconographic components.
