James Meyer's survey text explores four modes of doubling: Seeing Double through repetition; Reversal, the inversion or mirroring of an image or form; Dilemma, the staging of an absurd or impossible choice; and the Divided and Doubled Self (split and shadowed selves, personae, fraternal doubles, and pairs). Thought-provoking essays by leading scholars Julia Bryan-Wilson, Tom Gunning, W.J.T. Mitchell, Hillel Schwartz, Shawn Michelle Smith, and Andrew Solomon discuss a host of topics, including the ontology and ethics of the double, the double and psychoanalysis, double consciousness, the doppelgänger in silent cinema, and the queer double. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichly illustrated throughout, \u003ci\u003eThe Double\u003c\/i\u003e is a multifaceted exploration of an enduring theme in art, from painting and sculpture to photography, film, video, and performance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNational Gallery of Art, Washington, DC\u003cbr\u003eJuly 10-October 31, 2022\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Meyer\u003c\/b\u003e is curator of modern art at the National Gallery of Art. \u003cb\u003eJulia Bryan-Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e is the Doris and Clarence Malo Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art at the University of California, Berkeley. \u003cb\u003eTom Gunning\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of art history and cinema and media studies at the University of Chicago. \u003cb\u003eW.J.T.
