Distributed Perception (Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society)

Description

The first such survey in English,
ranges from fourth-century tomb paintings to the experimental “series” works of the 20th century. The author adopts a thematic approach, tracing the development of each of the most commonly depicted categories, including human and religious subjects, landscapes, scenes from nature and, in the 20th century, abstract art. Like other titles in the popular
series, this book is both profusely illustrated and accessibly written for a wide audience.
