Author: Podro, Professor Michael

Condition: Used

This important book develops a philosophical inquiry into the nature of depiction by analyzing the work of four artists--Donatello, Rembrandt, Chardin, and Hogarth. Michael Podro explains how it is that a painter sees a subject and decides what techniques and materials are necessary to depict it--and how the viewer interacts with the finished work.
