Abstract (en)

The reviewer argues that this anthology of translations of essays by French intellectuals published in the 1960s and 70s does not represent new art history from France, but that all share common values and suppositions, emphasizing "painting as sign" and viewing the work of interpretation as "reading." Focuses on Bryson's critique of perceptualism and historical materialism, and on Marin's discussion of Et in Arcadia Ego by Poussin (Paris, Louvre) and Baudrillard's discussion of trompe l'oeil and simulation.
