Reviews"Damisch's achievement lies in having called into question the art-historical methodologies that still dominate work in this field. His willingness to reconsider the epistemological basis of the discipline gives this book its special relevance and value for the circumstances in which we find ourselves today." -Keith Moxey, Artforum

SynopsisIn part an answer to Panofsky's Perspective as Symbolic Form, this book applies a structuralist method to Western art. It examines whether perspective evolved as an approximation to normal perception or whether it was a symbolic form, one wary of discoursing about space.
