Picturing

“What may be of sharpest critical interest about the legacy of the genre of landscape, both to the continuing practice of painting and in the continuing practice of painting, lies not in the intentional forms of picturing by which it has been defined. It lies rather in the precedents that the genre provides for a continued engagement, in the context of the visible, with that which is contingently excluded from the possibility of being seen and represented.” –– Charles Harrison, "The Effects of Landscape" (1994)
