This anthology brings together a selection of Gombrich's major narrative works — The Story of Art, Art and Illusion and The Sense of Order — and ten volumes of his collected essays and reviews, as well as writings that have not previously been published by Phaidon. It introduces the general reader to his thoughts and arguments on fundamental questions such as the nature of representation, the psychology of perception, the interpretation of images, problems of theory and method, the idea of progress, and symbolism and meaning in art. With introduction, notes and guides to further reading by Richard Woodfield.
