Born in 1948, Jean-Louis Schefer is one of the most important and original theorists of visual culture alive. His work, which runs from 1960s structuralism to his lyrical, autobiographical essays of the 1990s, is a veritable encyclopedia, covering figures from Courrèges to Hitchcock and subjects from Paleolithic to Greek art. His publications in English include The Enigmatic Body (Cambridge University Press, 1995), The Deluge, The Plague: Paolo Uccello (University of Michigan Press, 1995), and essays selected for the 1988 Cambridge anthology Calligram: Essays in New Art History from France.
