A fascinating look at our culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
For many years there have been lots of books appearing about visual culture. Most have little to say, but this one presents a clear, historical analysis of the power of images in our lives. Beautifully written and profound.
Power and Beauty

In this book the author presents a readable yet profound analysis of the historical roots our present day visual environment. I never before appreciated the extent to which power is routinely turned into beauty.
Simply great

I first learned of this book when I heard Ewen give the keynote address at the American Institute of Graphic Arts convention in San Antonio in 1989. As a practicing designer the book gave me critical insights into my work and its impact on society. I've just read the new edition of All Consuming images and my eyes were opened once again. The new material is simply great. This book a major contribution to contemporary thought.
Eye Opening...

Simply amazing. After reading this book, I am more aware than ever of the images in my life, the silent and persuasive language they speak. Living in the U. S., especially, this is an ideal travel guide through the virtual reality that surrounds us. The style autobiographies are wonderful.
