Informed by both structuralism and poststructuralism, these essays by art critic and historian Yve Alain Bois seek to redefine the status of theory in modernist critical discourse.

The essays lucidly demonstrate the uses of various theoretical approaches in conjunction with close reading of both paintings and texts.
