Time in the History of Art

Addressed to students of the image—both art historians and students of visual studies—Time in the History of Art investigates the history and nature of time in a variety of different environments and media, as well as the temporal potential of objects.

Essays will analyse topics such as the disparities of power that privilege certain forms of temporality above others, the nature of temporal duration in different cultures, the time of materials, the creation of pictorial narrative, and the recognition of anachrony as a form of historical interpretation.
