Like Riegl, Ortega proposed that the history of artistic movements presented a gradual transition from the haptic to the optical, and from modes of representation that replicated the properties - tactile and otherwise - of near vision to modes of representation that emulated distant vision, as though the chronology of Western painting dramatized a progressive retraction from depicted objects. 38 However, the central and thorough literary exploration of near vision as haptic strongly connects Dalí's poem with Ortega's aforementioned theories based on the work of Riegl and Worringer.
