Art as “Night”
An Art-Theological Treatise
Art as “Night” proposes a type of dark, a-historical knowledge crossing painting from Velázquez to Richter and Kiefer. It argues for a non-discursive form of intellection embodied in the work of art—a pure visual and moral agency lost since the Baroque era.
