Question

In an essay, this theorist argued that “Anglo-Saxon preoccupations” like English gardens formed the title “Ideological Antecedents of the Rolls-Royce Radiator.” A book on scholasticism by this theorist, in which he developed his idea of “mental habits,” influenced Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of the habitus. This theorist may have borrowed (15[1])an anecdote about meeting a man tipping his hat on the street to explain his three-tiered system of interpretation. The term “disguised symbolism” was coined by this critic, who placed the study of “intrinsic content” at the top of his system of analyzing (*) iconography, which he labeled “iconology.” (-5[1])This critic posited that a signature and reflection in a mirror (10[1])acted as a legal marriage certificate in the Arnolfini Portrait in a book analyzing Northern Renaissance artworks. For 10 points, name this art historian who wrote Early Netherlandish Painting. ■END■ (10[1])
