Summary Art and Institution examines how for Merleau-Ponty the work of art opens up, without conceptualizing, the event of being. Rajiv Kaushik treats Merleau-Pontys renderings of the artwork specifically in his later writings during the period ranging from 1952-1961 as a path into the being that precedes phenomenology. Replete with references to Merleau-Pontys reflections on Matisse, Czanne, Proust and others, and featuring Kaushiks own original reflections on various artworks, this book is guided by the notion that art does not iterate the findings of phenomenology so much as it allows phenomenology.
