Description
“Potential Images: Ambiguity and Indeterminacy in Modern Art” is a book by Dario Gamboni, first published in 2002. In this book, Gamboni explores the concept of ambiguity and indeterminacy in modern art, focusing on how artists have utilized these qualities to create meaning and engage viewers in new and unexpected ways.
Gamboni argues that ambiguity and indeterminacy are inherent to modern art and play a crucial role in its development and interpretation. He examines how artists across various movements and styles, from impressionism to surrealism to conceptual art, have embraced ambiguity as a means of challenging traditional aesthetic conventions and expanding the possibilities of artistic expression.
Through a series of case studies and analyses of individual artworks, Gamboni illustrates how artists have employed techniques such as fragmentation, abstraction, and the use of multiple perspectives to create works that resist easy interpretation and invite viewers to actively engage with the art.
By embracing ambiguity and indeterminacy, Gamboni suggests, modern artists have opened up new avenues for exploration and expression, allowing for a more dynamic and interactive relationship between the artwork and the viewer. “Potential Images” offers readers a thought-provoking examination of the ways in which ambiguity and indeterminacy have shaped the course of modern art and continue to influence contemporary artistic practices.
