Le strabisme du tableau. Essai sur les regards divergents du portraits. Arts Premiers rivers and streams were atStarting from a particular aesthetic experience, namely the strange sensation when faced with certain painted portraits of being looked at without being so (one eye addressed to the spectator, the other not), the author proposes here to consider the motif of ocular divergence as a theoretical object in itself, capable of establishing a counter history of works of art since the establishment of the autonomous portrait in the 15th century in Europe.
