About

Why this artist matters now

Jonathan Crary is an American art historian and theorist whose critical writings examine the history of vision, perception, and visuality in modernity. His scholarship traces how technologies of observation and regimes of attention have shaped both artistic practice and everyday experience since the nineteenth century. His work engages with postwar art history alongside broader questions of optical culture, rationality, and subjective experience.
