Merleau-Ponty wrote that philosophy was, "A way of relearning to look at the world." Since the 1950s, artists, art historians, and philosophers have been continually influenced by his work. But how to make sense of Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology and his belief that perception should be questioned above all else? This accessible guide explores both his thought and its impact on visual art. Examining work by artists, including Paul Cézanne, Vito Acconci, Katy la Rocca, and Dan Graham, it presents Merleau-Ponty's engagement with the body, interpersonal relations, the senses, and the environment through concrete examples.
