Recenzii
'All art touches us with a music that is as visual as it is aural.' This quote from Paul Gordon's book Synaesthetics: Art as Synaesthesia captures the essence of the author's intriguing assertion that all art is inherently synaesthetic. Drawing on research in artistic, philosophic, and scientific fields, Gordon argues convincingly that the general response to art shares common underpinnings with the blended perceptions of neurological synesthesia (where hearing sounds, for example, might also induce a visual experience), as any work of art will stimulate senses other than the one it touches directly. By referencing such diverse works as the writings of Henry James and Charles Baudelaire, paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe and Joan Mitchell, and films by Steven Spielberg, Gordon proposes that 'synaesthetics' is at the basis of art and our response to it. A carefully thought-out and thought-provoking read.
In his new book, Paul Gordon recognizes the central place of synaesthesia in debates about inter-art aesthetics. Where others have considered synaesthesia across two art forms, Gordon, a significant interlocutor in discussions of modernist literature, music, and film, weaves together, for the first time, inter-art relationships across a wider horizon. This book is a rich and provocative contribution to cultural studies.
