The Object Stares Back

In this "remarkable tour de force" (Publishers Weekly) and "ceaselessly thought-provoking book" (Kirkus Reviews), art historian James Elkins marshals psychology, philosophy, science, and art history to show how seeing alters the thing seen and transforms the seer. Black-and-white photographs.
