Reading pictures : a history of love and hate
Alberto Manguel.
New York : Random House, c2000.
"Taking a handful of extraordinary images - photographed, painted, built, sculpted - Alberto Manguel explores, with delight and erudition, how each one attempts to tell a story that we, the viewer, must decipher or invent. Whether delving into the love of life in the twentieth-century world of Joan Mitchell, or the brutal complexities of Picasso's treatment of his mistress, revisiting the riddles of the past in the fifteenth-century painting of Robert Campin, or the heartrending life of 'the hairy girl' whose matted fur so astonished sixteenth-century Italy, laying bare the unequivocal passion of Tina Modotti or the passionate dream world of Marianna Gartner, and the colliding, unbalancing power of the architect Peter Eisenman - he helps us to enjoy and explore the visual landscape we live in."--BOOK JACKET.
