At Its Heart Is A Serious Reconsideration Of The Relationship Between Medium And Content In Representational Art, Which Counters Currently Dominant Theories That Make Attention To The Former Inevitably A Distraction From Attending To The Latter.

The Result Is An Intuitive Way Of Thinking About How These Art Forms Work.
