E.H. GOMBRICH - Art & Illusion
1993, Phaidon Paperback 9¾" x 6¾". 386pp. Index. Notes [From the cover “Described by Kenneth Clark as ‘one of the most brilliant books of art criticism that I have ever read’, Art and Illusion 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. 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 interpretation of expression.”] Condition Very Good.
