This is a book about how to read visual images: from fine art to photography, film, television, and new media. It explores how meaning is communicated by the wide variety of texts that inhabit our increasingly visual world.

Recenzje

'Updated, authoritative, and ranging from traditional to the newest media, Visual Culture remains the premier, portal-opening text.'John R. Stilgoe, Harvard University'Summoning Vasari, Arnold, Baxandall, Berger and a dozen other masters of visual culture, the authors equip the text with idioms, definitions and a code of manners with which to appraise, to judge, to put in order and to relish the vast range of what we all see.'Fred Inglis, University of Warwick
