TY - GEN TY - GEN T1 - The infinite image : art, time and the aesthetic dimension in antiquity A1 - Bahrani, Zainab LA - eng PP - London PB - Reaktion Books YR - 2014 UL - https://kansalliskirjasto.finna.fi/Record/fikka.2848425 AB - "In the ancient civilizations of the Near East and Mediterranean, images were used as a way to create reality and reach out to the infinite. Reviving the fascination that gripped the avant-garde and the surrealists when confronted with the arts of the ancient Near East, The Infinite Image presents a radical new reading of Mesopotamian art as an aesthetic realm defined by objects that transcend time in order to carry traces of the past into the present."--Publisher description.
