At a discreet distance. An approach to the Warburguian concept of Grisaille
Keywords:
Grisaille, Warburguian studies, Atlas Mnemosyne, Art HistoriographyAbstract
The work and thought of Aby Warburg (1866-1929) is the subject of great historiographical discussions today. His short articles, his unfinished project Atlas Mnemosyne and his journals present great ideas about the survival (Nachleben) of the Antiquity in the Renaissance and interesting theories about the history of art in general. This work focuses on presenting one of the ideas that the German historian developed throughout his life: the notion of Grisaille. This pictorial technique assumed for Warburg a state of visual tension in the first Renaissance and was its celebrated concept Pathosformel. This concept can be used to explain some characteristics of the operation of the Atlas as a way to relate images to each other. The ups and downs of this notion comprise the central point of this article.Downloads
