ISBN10: 0300077130, ISBN13: 9780300077131, [publisher: Yale University Press] Hardcover In this lavishly illustrated book, Jonathan Miler investigates the efforts of painters to represent the effects of light on various reflective surfaces. Discussing a selection of works from artists as diverse as Rembrandt and Rockwell, he shows that the depiction of reflections has challenged painters for centuries. When we look into a mirror, we do not 'see' the surface, we see only our reflection. But in a painting, our eye is drawn to the marked surface of the canvas, which creates the illusion of a reflection. Jonathan Miller's On Reflection, published to coincide with his show 'Mirror Image' at London's National Gallery, is a dazzling investigation of artists as diverse as van Eyck, Dürer, Velázquez, Ingres, Helen Chadwick, and Robert Mapplethorpe. Miller explores the tricks and games by which painting and, more recently, photography create this illusion of reflection. The artistic representation of reflection has challenged artists for centuries, a problem particularly acute in Miller's most sustained example--the mirror. Drawing on studies of cognitive perception, On Reflection explains how we come to understand the difference between a reflection and 'the real thing,' and how vital reflections are in defining our own sense of identity. Miller's fascination with his subject comes across in bravura and original ...

National Gallery London 1998 Hardcover Used-Very Good European painting has long aspired to hold a mirror to nature--and in so doing has taken up the challenge of representing the effects of light on reflective surfaces. In this beautiful book, Jonathan Miller investigates the pictorial representation of sheen, shine, glimmer, and gleam through a wonderfully varied selection of paintings and photographs drawn from the National Gallery, London, and other international collections. Miller describes our perceptual opacity to recognize real-life mirrors as well as those in pictures, a complex psychological process of which we are usually unaware. He also traces the ambivalent imagery of mirrors from neutral aids to representing the self, as in Rembrandt's Self Portrait or Velazquez' Rokeby Venus, through metaphors of either virtues or vices in allegorical paintings--such as Le Tournier's Allegory of Justice and Vanity and Otto Dix's Woman Before a Mirror. The extent to which a surface reflects a recognizable image varies enormously, and Miller investigates the full range, from the diffuse sheen of polished leather or burnished copper to the representational realism of silvered glass. He shows that the depiction of such variously reflective surfaces has challenged the virtuosity of artists as diverse as Rembrant and Rockwell for more than two thousand years. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.
