Description

Over the centuries, European debate about the nature and status of images of God and sacred figures has upset the established order. Out of this debate, an identifiable doctrine has emerged of the image in general and of the divine image in particular. This work concentrates on these historical arguments, from the period of Late Antiquity up to the great and classic defences of images by St John of Damascus and Theodore of Studion. "Icon" extends beyond the immediate concerns of religion, philosophy, aesthetics, history, and art, to engage them all.

Author Biography:

Moshe Barasch was Jack Cotton Professor of Architecture and Fine Arts at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He wrote numerous books including Icon, Theories of Art, and Modern Theories of Art I and II, all published by NYU Press. A winner of the Israel Prize in 1996, he was elected corresponding member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences.
