Description
What does it mean to say that a painting has been "invaded" by language? Art, Word and Image answers
this question by exploring how visual images and writing can work in
dialogue in an artwork. Whether the picture frame is encroached upon by
doodlings, as with Adolf Wolfli's seemingly irrational scribbles, or a
plea to spirituality is blazoned across a vast canvas, as in the moving
images of Colin McCahon, we can be sure that words here have a special
meaning, one beyond everyday communication.

Art, Word and Image, one of the first books to examine the
use of language in art, is constructed around three major chronological
essays by renowned scholars John Dixon Hunt, David Lomas, and Michael
Corris. Their essays chart the use and significance of words in art-from
Classical Greece through the Middle Ages and Renaissance to modern
digital media.
