- It is striking that, with the exception of the small catalogue recently published by Raven Row, London, no comprehensive monograph exists about Morgan Fisher’s oeuvre. His seminal investigations, which he undertook first in the medium of film, then in painting, which is to say, in the domain of the visual arts, have drawn the attention of critics on both sides of the Atlantic, but until now no major publication has adequately reflected their significance. That is particularly astonishing since Fisher is also a prolific writer, extensively
discussing his own work and reflecting critically on the histories of film and painting and on the assumptions and technologies that underpin them.
