  • Publication Details

    Book, Zone Books, 2001
  • Description

    A picture universally recognized, endlessly scrutinized and described, incessantly copied, adapted, lampooned: does Leonardo’s near-ruined Last Supper still offer anything new to be seen or to be said? Meanwhile, the unending disagreement as to what exactly is represented, what the depicted actions express, how and where this assembly is seated?-all these still-raging disputes are traced to a single mistaken assumption: that Leonardo intended throughout to be unambiguous and clear, and that any one meaning necessarily rules out every other.
