The iconology of abstraction : non-figurative images and the modern world / edited by Krešimir Purgar.

• Should abstract images have their "own" iconology? / Krešimir Purgar -- The founding of abstraction : Wilhelm Worringer and the avant-garde / Anselm Treichler -- The visualization of temporality in the abstract paintings of Barnett Newman / Claude Cernuschi -- Digital abstraction : interface between electronic media art and data visualization / Birgit Mersmann -- Reality effect of (abstract) maps in post-digital era / Ana Peraica.

• "This book uncovers how we make meaning of abstraction, both historically and in present times, and examines abstract images as a visual language. The contributors will demonstrate that abstraction is not primarily an artistic phenomenon, but rather arose from human beings' desire to imagine, understand, and communicate complex, ineffable concepts in fields ranging from fine art and philosophy to technologies of data visualisation, from cartography and medicine to astronomy. The book will be of interest to scholars working in image studies, visual studies, art history, philosophy, and aesthetics"--
