  • Painting for Fools

    Open AccessCatherine M SoussloffARTICLETheory Culture & Society2023Cited by: 1References: 1

    Manuscripts and notes by Michel Foucault on the visual arts recently deposited at the Bibliothèque Nationale reveal a reliance on canonical oil paintings by the 'old masters'; a respect for the primary sources in the history of European art; an understanding of the necessity of research in both literary and visual sources, particularly self-portraits; and a sense of the value that a certain philosophical milieu - beginning with Sade and Nietzsche…

  • The Handbook of Visual Culture

    Michael Gardiner, Gunalan Nadarajan et al.BOOKThe Handbook of Visual Culture2012

    Visual culture has become one of the most dynamic fields of scholarship, a reflection of how the study of human culture increasingly requires distinctively visual ways of thinking and methods of analysis.

  • Foucault on Painting

    Open AccessCatherine M SoussloffBOOKFoucault on Painting2011References: 3

    Catherine M. Soussloff argues that Michel Foucault’s sustained engagement with European art history critically addresses present concerns about the mediated nature of the image in the digital age. She explores the meaning of painting for Foucault’s philosophy, and for contemporary art theory, proposing a new relevance for a Foucauldian view of ethics and the pleasures and predicaments of contemporary existence

  • Michel Foucault and the Point of Painting

    Open AccessCatherine M SoussloffARTICLEArt History2009

    This article offers a historiographical analysis of Foucault's contribution to art theory by arguing that the philosopher used the medium of painting and its history since Alberti to explore the differences in the concept of realism between 1650 and his own day. I argue that in his four essays on painting written between 1966 and 1976 Foucault took up the relation of painting to knowledge ( savoir ), particularly the question of how painting mean…

  • The Trouble with Painting, the Image (less) Text

    Open AccessCatherine M SoussloffARTICLEJournal of Visual Culture2005

    This article argues that painting and its theory founds and subtends the discipline and practices of the history of art. It proposes this epistemological situation as a problem for visual culture. The article begins by locating the centrality of painting as intellection in the person and work of Leonardo da Vinci and in the writing on him by Paul Valéry and Walter Benjamin. An investigation of the inheritance of Leonardo da Vinci in the 17th cent…

  • Jackson Pollock's Post-Ritual Performance: Memories Arrested in Space

    Catherine M SoussloffARTICLETDR/The Drama Review2004

    Uneasy that Jackson Pollock's paintings indicate a profound involvement with myth and that his dedication to the curative potential of psychoanalysis indicate a sustained engagement with his infantile fantasies and early family history, art historians have not agreed on how to interpret Pollock's paintings. There are two major trends: Pollock's “opticality” and the meaning of the nonrepresentational and representational marks found in them. Souss…
