Zusatztext With assured thought and lucid prose, as well as a masterful pacing that allows her initially to broach but also to revisit and further develop complex ideas, Vellodi presents not only an original thesis about Tintoretto’s ‘stage-method’ and a masterful understanding of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, but a work that traverses each as a method of demonstrating art-historical thought at work.
