A Theory of the Tache in Nineteenth-Century Painting

by Oystein Sjastad

Through a series of close readings, this book looks at the tache as one of the most important features in nineteenth-century modernism. The tache is a potential meeting point between text and image and a pure trace of the artist's body. This book represents the first time a scholar has looked at tacheism as a hidden continuum within modern art.
