On Pictures and the Words that Fail Them
Elkins, James (Art Institute of Chicago)
In this innovative, interdisciplinary 1998 study, James Elkins argues against the assumption that images can be adequately described in words. In his view, words must always fail because pictures possess a residue of 'meaningless' marks that cannot be apprehended as signs.
