The Essential Gombrich by Leonie Gombrich
An accessible selection of Professor Gombrich's best and most characteristic writing."To read these essays is to feel in close touch with a rare and crucial thing, a large mind at full tilt, curious, ambitious and civilized"—The New York Times
Sir Ernst Gombrich (1909–2001) was one of the greatest and least conventional art historians of his age, achieving fame and distinction in three separate spheres: as a scholar, as a popularizer of art and as a pioneer of the application of the psychology of perception to the study of art. His best-known book, The Story of Art, first published 50 years ago and now in its 16th edition, is one of the most influential books aver written about art.
