Looking into Pictures: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Pictorial Space by Robert Schwartz, Heiko Hecht, Margaret Atherton (Hardcover, 2003)

About this product

Product Information

The last half of the 20th century witnessed drmatic changes in the theory of vision. In particular, the eye-as-camera metaphor that had long dominated the field no longer seemed tenable. Somewhat surprisingly, however, the metaphor has maintained its appeal in the study of pictures. In Looking into Pictures , philosophers, psychologists and art historians explore the implications of recent theories of vision for our understanding of the nature of pictorial representation and picture perception. They examine the dual nature of picture perception, the fact that viewers must separate the visual properties of the picture itself from those of what the picture represents. Discussing the status of perspective, they ask whether perspective renderings of space are special or more accurate than those found in other types of pictures, and if so why. Finally, they consider the possible need to reconceive pictorial space and the implications of such a reconception for the study of picture perception.
