"Aren't blurry images often what we need?" This sentence of the philosopher Wittgenstein still seems to be out of date, revealing the necessity of "blur" among us.

From an art historical perspective, this book examines and sorts out "blur" in detail, an image/imaging feature and technical term that is still familiar and commonly used today, its types and meanings, as well as the transcendental images derived from it. Various issues such as history, history of science, history of perception and history of culture. For example, why did the history of images at the end of the 19th century undergo a paradigm shift from "clear" to "blurred"; why did the writer Goethe resist wearing glasses, believing that glasses can only allow people to stay on the mediocre, superficial and insignificant surface of things; photography technology After its invention, how did "blur" become a method used by photographers to prove that photography is also an art? And to this day, why do we still pursue the "blur" effect through LOMO cameras and commercial photography techniques...

"Blur" itself is not blurry at all, and it's actually quite interesting.

Features of this book

This book mainly explores "blur", an important media and aesthetic issue that has spread from the history of Western culture and science and technology to the visual arts fields around the world today, including painting, photography, and even moving images.
