Sobre este item
London : Bloomsbury , 2000. First Edition . Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Good. Large Octavo. Binding is tight, but spine is slightly cocked Text body is clean and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting Endpapers have some faint foxing Edges have some faint foxing This work sets out to draw us into the storied world of pictures and paintings. Taking a handful of images, the author explores how each one attempts to tell a story that we, the viewer, must decipher or invent: from the secret canvases of the Renaissance artist to Picasso's "Weeping Woman". The author does not attempt to devise a systematic method for reading pictures such as those proposed by great art historians, he seeks to reclaim for common viewers the right to "read" images.
