On the Rationalization of Sight. With Examination of Three Renaissance Texts on
Binding with signs of handling and edge wear, slightly foxed, inside good and without markings. - CONTENTS William M. Ivins, Jr. ON THE RATIONALIZATION OF SIGHT Viator DE ARTIFICIALI PERSPECTIVA Toul, 1505 Viator DE ARTIFICIALI PERSPECTIVA Toul, 1509 / William Ivins, Jr. was the first curator of prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a position he held from 1916 to 1946. Although he had no training as an art historian-he was an economist and lawyer-he built up the museum's holdings to form one of the most important print collections in the world today. Not at home with the minute scholarship of the academic historian, Ivins' writing reflected the lawyer's need to make a case, and it is the freshness and simplicity of his approach that made his Prints and Visual Communication and Notes on Prints modern classics.
