Abstract (en)

Critical examination of the art historian's discussions of the mechanisms of viewing a painting. Investigates Bryson's use of concepts from the writings of Derrida and Lacan; his over-reliance on textual analogies in the study of visual artifacts and events; his definitions of the gaze and the glance; his over-simplification of western painting conventions of naturalism; his delineation of the role of painterly facture in the temporality of viewing a painting; and his interpretations of works by Titian, Velázquez and Chardin.
