Résumé:
Here, published for the first time, is one of photography's unknown masterworks: a Viennese lawyer and photographer [Dr. Emil Mayer] whose prints were largely destroyed by the Gestapo after his death. This extraordinary collection establishes Mayer as a master of photography, one of the first in a line of street photographers that includes André Kertész and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Mayer's photographs, taken during the last years of the horse and carriage, offer us a rare and intimate vision of a bygone age. The result is a book that is lyrical, moving, and exquisitely beautiful.

Résumé:
For thirty-five years ''Visual Thinking'' has been the gold standard for art educators, psychologists, and general readers alike. In this seminal work, Arnheim, author of ''The Dynamics of Architectural Form'', ''Film as Art'', ''Toward a Psychology of Art'', and ''Art and Visual Perception'', asserts that all thinking (not just thinking related to art) is basically perceptual in nature, and that the ancient dichotomy between seeing and thinking, between perceiving and reasoning, is false and misleading. An indis-pensable tool for students and for those interested in the arts.
