Book excerpt: Already a well-known representative of the "Arte Povera" movement, in the late 1990s Johann Widmer began to explore the field of abstract, informal painting. His credo was that all the arts (including music and literature) are important pillars of our civilisation and should therefore be made accessible to everyone by various means. In addition to his extensive artistic output, Johann Widmer has always written short stories for young and old. But he avoids the term "writer". He sees himself more as an art mediator and is happy when his books are read. Starting in August 2009, he dedicated a picture to each month, which he accompanied with a matching text. This book is therefore a compilation of the artistic work and the short stories and shows the "monthly pictures" as a collected work. The texts are not intended to influence the viewer's own imagination when looking at the pictures, but they may suggest a way of looking at the picture.

Download or read book What Do Pictures Want written by W. J. T. Mitchell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-12-23 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we have such extraordinarily powerful responses toward the images and pictures we see in everyday life? Why do we behave as if pictures were alive, possessing the power to influence us, to demand things from us, to persuade us, seduce us, or even lead us astray? According to W. J. T. Mitchell, we need to reckon with images not just as inert objects that convey meaning but as animated beings with desires, needs, appetites, demands, and drives of their own. What Do Pictures Want? explores this idea and highlights Mitchell's innovative and profoundly influential thinking on picture theory and the lives and loves of images. Ranging across the visual arts, literature, and mass media, Mitchell applies characteristically brilliant and wry analyses to Byzantine icons and cyberpunk films, racial stereotypes and public monuments, ancient idols and modern clones, offensive images and found objects, American photography and aboriginal painting. Opening new vistas in iconology and the emergent field of visual culture, he also considers the importance of Dolly the Sheep—who, as a clone, fulfills the ancient dream of creating a living image—and the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11, which, among other things, signifies a new and virulent form of iconoclasm. What Do Pictures Want? offers an immensely rich and suggestive account of the interplay between the visible and the readable. A work by one of our leading theorists of visual representation, it will be a touchstone for art historians, literary critics, anthropologists, and philosophers alike. “A treasury of episodes—generally overlooked by art history and visual studies—that turn on images that ‘walk by themselves’ and exert their own power over the living.”—Norman Bryson, Artforum
