Abstract:

The linear perspective method of the Renaissance often becomes a core node in depicting the developmental trajectory of art history. But can art history break through the constraints of linear perspective? This study focuses on the divergence between French art historian Damisch and his teacher, philosopher Merleau-Ponty, regarding this issue. In his book The Origin of Perspective, Damisch expresses different views from Merleau-Ponty on multiple questions, specifically including whether linear perspective is merely a cultural convention, whether modern art transcends linear perspective, and whether art history can break through linear perspective. Damisch tends to believe that linear perspective always plays a paradigmatic role, while Merleau-Ponty argues that pictorial expression and art history can overcome the constraints of linear perspective. Through the differences in their perspectives, we can also observe the distinctions between philosophers and art historians when examining artistic issues.
