Painting And Presence: Why Paintings Matter

This book is concerned with why (or whether) paintings have value: why they might be worth creating and attending to. The author traces an understanding of painting as ontologically revelatory from the theology of the Byzantine Icon to classical Chinese appreciations of landscape painting, and Phenomenologists inspired by European Modernist art.
