Ikonische Formprozesse: Zur Philosophie des Unbestimmten in Bildern - 3 (1st edition.)

The term iconic form processes refers to phenomena that produce transitions between natural and symbolic forms.

For example, the fire-scarred surface of a bronze artwork produces effects transcending the realm of artistic intention.

When a work is created and perceived, the genesis of the image also invariably involves a "e;recession into the implicit"e; (John Dewey).

This volume furnishes the foundations for a theory of iconic form processes.
