The classic Gombrich text, old fashioned, and a bit rambling, but all-in-all well worth the price.
If you are a thoughtful visual artist, buy this! January 18, 2002 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Even though the book is old, and the language scientific, there are many clues here for the interrogative artist. With a focus on history and the evolving of imagery, we are left with a greater understanding of the illustrators task. A truly fun read, attempting to explain why people perceive and interpret as they do.
