Produktbeschreibung

Why do pictures seem so immediate? What makes a picture realistic or not? John Kulvicki claims that what makes pictures special is not how we perceive them, but how they relate to one another. This not only provides some new answers to old questions, but it shows that there are many more kinds of pictures out there than many have thought.
