This review is from: The Uses of Images (Paperback)
Gombrich is obviously an intelligent essayist well versed in the history of art and culture. Unfortunately, he knows a lot more than most of us. He too often refers to art, movements and people that the even more familiar art reader may not be very familiar with.Many of these essays bring up interesting ideas and they are worth reading. However, the essays often read incomplete. The editor and/or author should have worked more on integrating, expanding or updating the information in book form. Just take a look at the library and you will probably be satisfied. |
