By Huon Mallalieu
Huon Mallalieu is a historian who writes on art, antiques and collecting for The Times, Country Life and The Oldie. He is the author or editor of many books, including The Dictionary of British Watercolour Artists and 1066 and Rather More, a Walk through History.
In his 1896 Florentine Painters of the Renaissance Bernard Berenson discussed the “tactile values” that “occur in representations of solid objects when communicated, not as mere reproductions (no matter how veracious), but in a way that stirs the imagination to feel their bulk, heft their weight, realise their potential resistance, span their distance from us, and encourage us, always imaginatively, to come into close touch with, to grasp, to embrace, or to walk around them.”
I rather think that tactile values have been out of fashion for a while in art history courses but are now making a come-back.
