“see” a flat field but “construct” a tactile space, we can 
     perhaps rid art history of its obsession with space and 
     bring other achievements into focus, the suggestion of 
     light and of texture, for instance, or the mastery of 
     physiognomic expression.

     Berkeley’s New Theory of Vision  (1709) is now favored by 
psychologists of our sense lives. But Berkeley was concerned to 
refute Descartes and Newton, who had wholly abstracted the 
visual sense from the interaction of the other senses. On the 
other hand, the suppression of the visual sense in favor of the 
audile-tactile complex, produces the distortions of tribal 
society, and of the configuration of jazz and primitive art 
imitations which broke upon us with radio, but not just 
“because” of radio. (11)
