The Power of Touch – the Modernity of an Anachronism: Georges Didi-Huberman’s Philosophy of Art

Abstract

Georges Didi-Huberman focuses on a complementary association of visuality and tactility, the touch and the track/mark, the body and the picture (painting), visuality and ‘readablity’ of a painting. This article focuses on one of the central topics of Didi-Huberman’s afterthought: the materiality of a work of art and of touch/track.
