In this book Betty Bock invites us to consider the aesthetic and philosophic framework that underlies Kleinlein's work. In a wide-ranging analysis, Blick examines Kleinlein's paintings through the lens of philosophers such as Plato, Merleau-Ponty, Husserl, Heidegger, and current thought on the aesthetics of the everyday. Her personal interviews with Kleinlein provide an intimate look into the life and work of this artist and the way he views our world.
