The Technical Apparatus of the Warburg Haus

The paper addressed how the Warbug Haus in Hamburg, where the Warburg library was housed, was a complex technical apparatus that facilitated Warburg's production of the Atlas. As a practice the Atlas became the model for an image led analytical practice further developed by Saxl when he moved and directed the Warburg Institute in London. Kenneth Clark's relationship to both Warburg and Saxl is discussed and how he used their thinking to develop art history in terms of broadcasting and particularly with 'Civilisation". The further relationship to John Berger's 'Ways of Seeing' is also discussed in this context.
