New book connects painting’s history with the photographic image
Cornell scholar Andrew Moisey has published a book examining how ways of seeing associated with photography developed before the camera.
The Photographic World Picture: A New Prehistory of Photography was published by Yale University Press on 15 September, according to Cornell’s report the following day. The book presents an art-historical argument about painting and perception rather than a new technical history of camera invention.
