The Art of Looking Sideways
NK1505.F58 2001
This is the extraordinary creation of a self-described 'visual jackdaw', and it is indeed a kind of visual jackdaw's nest. An exploration of visual awareness and its interrelation with the verbal, the book is a compilation of images, quotations and juxtapositions of thoughts. From 'a grapefruit is a lemon that had a chance and took advantage of it' through Escher-like drawings to a discussion of the evolution of alphabets, Fletcher looks not only sideways but from above, below and all angles between at the human condition.
