Is Durability Itself Not Also a Moral Quality
Centering on his relationship with Gertrud Bing from 1958 until her death in 1964 - as well as, to a lesser extent, on his relationship with Ernst Gombrich - the author recalls his informal induction during those years into a tradition of thought and an intellectual climate that Aby Warburg had embodied in the Institute and Library that he founded in Hamburg. The Institute is described as existing, during the late 1950s and early 1960s in London,…
Introduction
In this introduction to a Common Knowledge special issue on the Warburg Institute, the authors argue that the Institute remains today - as it has been, in different forms, for almost a century - one of Europe's central institutions for the study of cultural history.

Shadows and enlightenment
In this book, an eminent art historian draws on contemporary cognitive science, eighteenth-century theories of visual perception, and art history to discuss shadows and the visual knowledge they can offer. Michael Baxandall begins by describing the physical constitution and different varieties of shadows.

The Language of Art History
A WEIRD THING about last ten years has been quite how many art historians have been beating their breasts about theoretical inadequacies of activity, and New Literary History has admirably registered that thudding, with a more representative spread of opinion than any of art historians' own journals I see. To take three types: Kurt W. Forster,1 who represents a line found in a rather fuller and sharper form in journal Kritische Berichte, deplores…
Painting and Experience in Fifteenth Century Italy
The purpose of this concise and tightly written book is to show "how the style of pictures is a proper material of social history."Mr. Baxandall's argument is this.Believing that the symbolic structures used by a society at any given moment are reflected in all the modes of expression that appear in that society, Mr. Baxandall is concerned to show how our understanding of painting-which in the Renaissance was an obviously import- ant expressive l…
