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 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.” (10[1])This critic posited that a signature and reflection in a mirror (-5[1])acted as a legal marriage certificate in the Arnolfini (10[1])Portrait in a book analyzing Northern Renaissance artworks.
