The Object Stares Back by James Elkins

In this "remarkable tour de force" (Publishers Weekly) and "ceaselessly thought-provoking book" (Kirkus Reviews), art historian James Elkins marshals psychology, philosophy, science, and art history to show how seeing alters the thing seen and transforms the seer. Black-and-white photographs.

James Elkins is the author of The Object Stares Back: On the Nature of Seeing, What Painting Is, and many other books. He is a professor of art history, philosophy, and criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
