About This Book

A series of illustrated lectures guides readers in how to look at and judge pictures, balancing realism, individuality, and imaginative invention. It distinguishes kinds of truth in painting, contrasts mechanical reproduction with the artist’s perceptual eye, and explains how convention, composition, and intention create meaning. The text surveys technical qualities and pictorial poetry, offers examples to clarify critical points, and urges tolerant, flexible standards that recognize varied aims and expressive methods in visual art.
