Ways of Seeing : The secret language of visual arts. Ways of seeing in the age of mechanical reproduction, traditional oil painting and advertising art
Traditional art critics usually focus on a painting's artistic expressions, such as lines, colors, and composition. This book, Ways of Seeing, however, directs our attention to something else, such as the artwork's historical background, the artist's purpose, and the hidden intentions behind different ways of interpretation. The book tells us the secrets behind images and gives us a whole new perspective to appreciate artworks.
