| Abstract | "Images are not phenomena of art history proper but phenomena of interpenetration between art, politics, moral philosophy, historical thinking, literature and religion". The following statements, which are more like proverbs, are even more well known: "An image is worth more than 1000 words", "To describe an image one needs each of these 1000 words", and "1000 words to describe and index an image are seldom cost effective". | |
