""Clear, accessible, exhilarating, On Painting is the finest introduction to Gilles Deleuze’s reflections on visual media and aesthetics. Whether the diagram, the distinction of analogue and digital, chaos and event, sentience and sublimity, or modulation and coloration, David Lapoujade and Charles J. Stivale bring to Anglophone readers a pedagogy of the highest magnitude.""- Tom Conley, Harvard University ""Gilles Deleuze’s lectures on painting explore catastrophe and its relation to the birth of color via a confrontation with prepictorial chaos based on the ‘diagram,’ which generates different modulations of flesh and color. The result is a text that will have the same revolutionary impact on art history and studio practice that his two Cinema books have had on film studies.""-Colin Gardner, University of California, Santa Barbara
