The Origin of Perspective

by Hubert Damisch

Book Overview

In 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.
