How do we understand photography? From "Gubouto" to "Chagall"

The author of this book is Dr. Lionello Venturi, who enjoyed the greatest success in his book "How to Understand Painting." In it, he presented the most famous theories of criticism, and then he himself developed a method that allows us to read the painting in a way that we conclude by evaluating it aesthetically first and historically. The curriculum is a valuable summary of his experiences and studies as a critic and art historian.
Venturi's various types of writings are characterized by sincerity in research, depth, and frankness. In his books on history, we find reliable sources of evidence, and in his writings on the philosophy of art, we find careful analysis of the aesthetic aspects and direct plastic foundations in art. This is undoubtedly due to the life he devoted to All for art, for studying its ancient and modern effects, and for his intelligent follow-up of the effects of human thought, which made him worthy of being chosen - well deserved - as head of the Critics Division. at UNESCO during the last years of his life.
