The formless has fascinated artists in the Renaissance (from Leonardo da Vinci to Pontorno, Rabelais, Teresa of Avila, and Montaigne) and in the twentieth century, when Georges Bataille enshrined the notion of the informe at the center of his aesthetic thought. This book tries to think through the stakes entailed by this fascination and its resurgence.
