This volume examines the existential tension between human consciousness and the animal condition through a diverse survey of art history. By tracing themes of mortality and transcendence from Symbolism and Surrealism to contemporary practice, the book investigates how artists have navigated the boundary between the human self and the natural world. It features critical essays alongside works by Francisco de Goya, Alfred Kubin, and Odilon Redon to explore the philosophical implications of emptiness and utopia.
