Seeing the Invisible by Michel Henry
Presents a philosophical interpretation of a significant twentieth-century painter - Wassily Kandinsky. Through an analysis of the life and works of Wassily Kandinsky, this book covers the philosophical significance of Kandinsky's revolution in painting: that abstract art reveals the invisible essence of life.
"Michel Henry's work consistently re-imagines the means through which life incarnates or makes manifest to itself the very essence of its beingIn Seeing the Invisible Henry extends his philosophy, as material phenomenology, to the aesthetic, reappraising abstract art in terms of affectivity, emotional life and the essential communication that takes place between the community and the artwork at the level of sensibility. Scott Davidson's clear and timely translation provides the reader with both a revolutionary take on twentieth century art and a gateway into the thought of one of the leading French philosophers of the past fifty years." - Dr Michael O'Sullivan, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
