What is Picture This : How Pictures Work about?

Molly Bang's brilliant, insightful, and accessible treatise is now revised and expanded for its 25th anniversary. Bang's powerful ideas—about how the visual composition of images works to engage the emotions, and how the elements of an artwork can give it the power to tell a story—remain unparalleled in their simplicity and genius. Why are diagonals dramatic? Why are curves calming? Why does red feel hot and blue feel cold? First published in 1991, Picture This has changed the way artists, illustrators, reviewers, critics, and readers look at and understand art. ** Review "A must-have book for anyone wanting to learn or teach about art elements and principles and their connections to (picture book) art and visual perception."-*Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Retooled and redesigned for a new generation, Picture This remains a peerless handbook and guide for anyone who wishes to make picture books or understand how visual narrative works." -Leonard S. Marcus, children's book historian and critic "Picture This is the Strunk and White of visual literacy. A must for anyone interested in reading and understanding images."--Brian Selznick, Caldecott Medal winner for The Invention of H
