Through Van Gogh, Caravaggio and the photographer Tina Modotti, among others, Alberto Manguel awakens us in this book to the world of images. In a text sprinkled with anecdotes, experiences, religious and literary references, he traces links and connections between masterpieces and works by lesser-known artists and reveals certain iconographic traditions. He draws attention to certain details, teaches us to "read" what we see, to maintain an interactive relationship apart from comments, criticisms, errors or acquired prejudices. Reading images is an invitation for each of us to have our own vision of a work, to project and receive feelings and evocations into it, to take possession of the universe and for each of us to make our own interpretation of it.
