But Paul was also sometimes taken to mean that idols are without substance. In this line of thinking\, air (rather than centaurs a nd other composite creatures) became emblematic of the nothingness of the idol. This had consequences for painting. For\, when Alberti turned pictur es into windows\, he turned air\, which is to say nothingness\, which is t o say the idol\, into the matrix of painting. From this vacuous substance\ , painters could then conjure anything they wished\, but what they conjure d would always remain tainted by the the airy stuff from which it was made .\n \n With generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\n DTSTART:20170914T200000Z DTEND:20170914T223000Z SUMMARY:Speaker Series | Amy Knight Powell 'Airy Idols' URL:/ahcs/channels/event/speaker-series-amy-knight-pow ell-airy-idols-269327 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
