Theory Of/Cloud/ Toward a History of Painting

"First published in 1972, this book is perhaps the first and in many ways still one of the most challenging attempts to apply a consistent semiotic theory to the development of perspectival art from the Renaissance to the present day. By no means a period piece, it is a brilliant and systematic interaction that touches some of the most crucial features of the Western tradition."Stephen Bann, University of BristolDamisch, Hubert is the author of 'Theory Of/Cloud/ Toward a History of Painting', published 2002 under ISBN 9780804734394 and ISBN 0804734399.
