Art and illusion: A study in the psychology of pictorial representation / Gombrich, E.H. 2002  Book
Gombrich, E.H. Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Edition 5th ed.
Publication London, Phaidon Press, 2002.
Description xxv, 386pPurple spine
Summary/Abstract This book is a classic study of image-making. It seeks to answer a simple question: why is there such a thing as style? The question may be simple but there is no easy answer, and Professor Gombrich's brilliant and wide-ranging exploration of the history and psychology of pictorial representation leads him into many important areas. In the course of demonstrating that making a likeness is far more difficult than it may seem, he examines, questions and re-evaluates old and new ideas on the imitation of nature, the function of tradition, the problem of abstraction, the validity of perspective and the interpetation of expression.

Sacks, Oliver Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Picador, 2010.
Description xii, 260pMustard spine
Summary/Abstract In The Mind’s Eye, Oliver Sacks tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the capacity to recognize faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world – and The Mind’s Eye is testament to the myriad ways that we, as humans, are capable of rising to this challenge.

Publication London, BBC & Penguin, 2008.
Description 165pWhite Spine
Summary/Abstract This book changed the way people think about art criticism and painting. This watershed work, through word and image, shows how what we see is always influenced by a whole host of assumptions concerning the nature of beauty, truth, civilization, form, taste, class and gender. Exploring the layers of meaning wtihin oil paintings,photographs and graphic art, Berger argues that when we see, we are not just looking, we are reading the language of images.
