The Uses of Images: Studies in the Social Function of Art and Visual Imagery

Description

This volume reflects Professor Gombrich's lifelong interest in the social dynamics that help to determine the course art takes. It discusses the role of supply and demand, the 'ecology' of images, the idea of 'feedback' as developing skills in turn stimulate new demands, and the use (or misuse) of images as historical evidence.
