Description: Elizabeth Grosz argues that art--especially architecture, music, and painting--is born from the disruptive forces of sexual selection. She approaches art as a form of erotic expression connecting sensory richness with primal desire, and finds that the meaning of art comes from the intensities and sensations it inspires.
Review Quotes: Beautifully written. The sentences unfold and caress you like a plume of exhaled smoke, giving the book's emphasis on sexual attraction and the eroticism of sensation a physical force.-- "Comparative Literature Studies"
