Publisher's Synopsis

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.
