This special brand of philosophy dares to think about what is whispered, hidden, concealed or veiled by a prosaic exchange with objects and images.  The shift today from epistemology to ontology has resulted in a renewed attention to the animacy of objects.Through this (re)reading, and often offering a very personal account, she asks   how might we construe art history differently by intimating the magic of painting, the silence and wonder beneath words?Michael Ann Holly is Starr Director Emerita of the Research and Academic Program at the Clark Art Institute.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41822953734241,"sku":"9781399531856","price":110.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35513527.jpg?v=1754006653","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781399531856-somewhere-between-art-history-and-phenomenology-at-the-still-point-of-the-painted-world","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
