Reviews
Gesture is a concept that is fundamental to the creation and reception of visual images. Locating our understanding of status and function of the image at the intersection of subject and object, the authors in this volume offer us insight into the way both the invisible and visible dimensions of the image play a role in the creation of meaning. This book is crucial to anyone interested in the philosophical study of the image. -- Keith Moxey, Barnard College, USA
