Renaissance Society of America conference

Incision and the Identity of the Artist

Incision was at the heart of many of the arts in the Renaissance. Artists used pen, burin, stylus, claw chisel and brush end to incise surfaces and create form, line and meaning. Proposals are invited for papers that address how the process of incision might have suggested different modes of visual thinking, affecting artists’ understanding of their practice, profession and status.
