Ways of seeing

Bought this book in the strand gallery in London after hearing that it was a pioneer in proposing new ideas about how to interpret art - I came away feeling confused, maybe I was not ready or did not read in enough depth the ideas here, while sprinkled with gems of insight here and there I thought overall it offered me insufficient food for thought, and it was written in quite an academic diction which made it hard to get through for a beginner in art non fiction
