Klappentext
The artist exists 'to see and make us see what we do not naturally perceive'. Charlotte de Mille illuminates the pivotal role of Bergson's philosophy for UK artists and art critics before 1914. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates philosophy, art criticism and art history, offering new avenues for investigation. An Epilogue considers the proximity of Bergson's thought on temporality, perception, intuition and subjectivity to art history, from Alois Riegl and Aby Warburg, to practitioners today. Charlotte de Mille is Associate Lecturer at The Courtauld Institute.
