"The four essays in this volume constitute Derrida's most explicit and sustained reflection on the art
work as pictorial artifact, a reflection partly by way of philosophical aesthetics (Kant, Heidegger), partly by
way of a commentary on art works and art scholarship (Van Gogh, Adami, Titus-Carmel). The illustrations are excellent,
and the translators, who clearly see their work as both a rendering and a transformation, add yet another dimension
to this richly layered composition. Indispensable to collections emphasizing art criticism and aesthetics."--Alexander
