About this product

Product Information

In this text, the author presents a radical theory of pictures. To do this, he has developed a precise vocabulary for describing the representational systems in pictures - the ways in which artists, engineers, photographers, mapmakers and children represent objects. His approach is derived from recent research in visual perception and artificial intelligence and he begins by clarifying the key distinction between the marks in a picture and the features of the scene that these marks represent. The methods he uses are thus closer to those of a modern structural linguist or psychoanalyst than to those of an art historian. Using over 150 illustrations, Willats analyzes the representational systems in pictures by artists from a wide variety of periods and cultures. He then relates these systems to the mental processes of picture production and shows how Greek vase painters, Chinese painters, Giotto, icon painters, Picasso, Paul Klee and David Hockney have put these systems to work. The book is also concerned with why artists from different periods and cultures have used such different systems and why drawings by young children look so different from those done by adults. Willats argues
