To Destroy Painting by Louis Marin

To Destroy Painting by Louis Marin

The work of the French cultural critic Louis Marin (1931-1992) is of importance to scholars concerned with issues of representation. This text, first published in France in 1977, presents Marin's theories about the aims of painting in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. A meditation on the work of Poussin and Caravaggio and on their milieux, the book explores a number of notions implied by theories of painting and offers insight into the aims and effects of visual representaion.

Louis Marin (1931-1992) was a philosopher, historian, and art critic. Born in Le Tronche, Marin is credited as being one of the premier critical thinkers of twentieth-century France. He was the author of On Representation, Utopics, To Destroy Painting, and Sublime Poussin. Marin was a principal proponent of the philosophy of post-structuralism, and was also an accomplished scholar of seventeenth-century French literature and art.
