Beyond Vision is the first English-language collection of essays on art by Pavel Florensky (1882ndash;1937); Russian philosopher; priest; linguist; scientist; mathematician ndash; and art historian. In addition to seven essays by Florensky; the book includes a biographical introduction and an examination of Florenskyrsquo;s contribution as an art historian by Nicoletta Misler. Beyond Vision reveals Florenskyrsquo;s fundamental attitudes to the vital questions of construction; composition; chronology; function and destination in the fields of painting; sculpture and design. His reputation as a theologian and philosopher is already established in the English-speaking world; but this first collection in English of his art essays (translated by Wendy Salmond) will be a revelation to those in the field.

His plays live far beyond the times in which they were written. These collections are superb in bringing Cowards work to 21 century readers and particularly actors!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
