Introduction

This guide contains a new approach to looking at and appreciating art. One not found elsewhere. It makes you aware of abilities you already have to see things in various ways. The key to these abilities is what I call the visual ego, the place between your eyes from which you see the world.

Methods and Applications

The guide then describes a series of particular ways of seeing and making works of art. Finally, it applies these ways, which I call perspectives, to works of art, painting, sculpture, architecture, and the decorative arts covering a period of some seventy thousand years.

Results and Benefits

The results I find to be amazing, including new understandings and appreciation of many works of art and artists and their place in the history of art.
