View all books by James (Art Institute of Chicago) ElkinsDescription of On Pictures and the Words that Fail Them
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.
