This essay examines the factural and phenomenological aspects of some relief works of the remote and recent past, ranging from Buddhist sculptural and pictorial reliefs made in China, Central Asia, and India to relief works by Donatello (ca. 1386-1466) and the American sculptor Natalie Charkow Hollander (b. 1933). While some of the works under discussion are historically connected to one another, most are not. By zooming in on relief works and the verbal descriptions about them, the essay reveals the signification that relief, as a liminal art medium between painting and sculpture in the round, enforces on its maker and viewer across cultures and throughout history, due to the visual and tactile ambiguity that it effects between concealment and disclosure
