Este libro revela como nuestros modos de ver afectan a nuestra forma de interpretar. En concreto analiza cuatro aspectos de la interpretacion de la pintura al oleo: su origen relacionado con el sentido de la propiedad, la posicion continuada de la mujer como objeto pictorico, la relacion entre la herencia visual de la pintura y la publicidad actual y, por ultimo, la transformacion del significado de la obra original en el marco de sus multiples reproducciones. Con los anos, Modos de ver se ha convertido en un titulo indispensable de la teoria del arte y de la comunicacion visual.
