Trevor-Roper, Patrick
How did faulty or failing eyesight affect the style and technique of writers and artists. How did it affect the way they convey their visual impressions. In a classic study, first published in 1970 and thoroughly revised in 1988, Patrick Trevor-Roper combines his professional knowledge of ophthalmology with his extensive familiarity with art and literature to fascinatingly examine the work of painters, sculptors, poets and prose writers.
“I was first introduced to the material in this book during a continuing education lecture for Opticians. After ten years of dull or often repetitive courses, this lecture based on this book kept me spellbound. Being an optician and understanding vision problems caused by health issues and connecting it to an artist’s work was highly educational and entertaining. Any art student would benefit by adding this to their book collection.” — reviewed by Anonymous.
