Four talks by MICHAEL PODRO 3: Equivocation
Theories of art since the 18th century have questioned the importance of subject-matter in painting, and made various claims for art as revealing a distinctive use of our mind and perception.
In the third talk of this series, Michael Podro , Reader in Art at the University of Essex, considers theories of visual harmony based on the writing of the German 19thcentury psychologist Johann Friedrich Herbart.
