Summary / Abstract:
ENA modern identity-concealment-and-revelation game, a sophisticated variety of hide-and-seek, this phenomenon comes into existence together with the emergence of individualism. Italian, Flemish, Dutch, and German Renaissance masters start signing their canvases, thus signifying the arrival of the Era of the Individual; yet they play identity games that become part of the picturesque carnival of the language and artistic expression. Instead of signing their given and family names, they drop a hint or leave a mark as if to say that the identification of the master is an inescpable part of the interpretation of the work of art itself. [Extract, p. 49].
