PAVEL FLORENSKY: BEYOND VISION: Essays on the Perception of Art, ed. N. Misler, (Reaktion Books, London 2002) is a collection of essays on art by the Orthodox priest, mathematician and scientist, Pavel Florensky (1882-1937). Although Florensky is known widely for his religious writings--on the church service, on icons, on liturgy--his conception of art history, of artistic devices and of visual culture in general is less familiar. Edited by Nicoletta Misler and translated (for the first time) from Russian by Wendy Salmond, "Pavel Florensky, Beyond Vision" contains Florensky's major statements on realism, Aegean Culture and perspective.
