PRESENCE: THE INHERENCE OF THE PROTOTYPE WITHIN IMAGES AND OTHER OBJECTS; ED. BY RUPERT SHEPHERD

"Presence: The Inherence of the Prototype within Images and Other Objects reconsiders the notion of 'presence' in objects. The first book to address the issue directly, it contains a series of case studies covering a broad geographical and chronological range from ancient Greece and the Incas to industrial America and contemporary India, as well as examples from the canon of western European art."--Jacket.
