Bernard Berenson Seeing and Knowing

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The illustrations for this edition of Seeing and Knowing have been chosen by the editors. The author's indications for many of the earlier paintings and sculptures have been followed. In addition, a number of contemporary works are included to represent the kind of art which Berenson attacks. Some of these are already recognized as modern classics; others are provocative works created in the twenty years since this essay was written, which go still farther in rejecting the classical convention.
