Writing with pictures: Reconsidering Aby Warburg's Bilderatlas in the context of architectural scholarship, education and Google images
Author: de Bruijn, Willem (30 August 2021)
Abstract

This chapter explores the work of art historian Aby Warburg (1866-1929). Warburg's work, in particular the Bilderatlas Mnemosyene (known in English as the Mnemosyene Atlas), pioneered a means of 'doing' art history by juxtaposing images (mostly photographic works of art) mounted onto large panels to build an argument in pictorial terms.
