GarganoProfessor Mitchell has put together an intriguing collection of essays that are distinctly devoid of the presumptuous art talk so often seen in the top periodicals and art blogs of our time - thank you sir! Since these essays are the work of an exceptional scholar; some of us mere mortals may have difficulty in following the abstract constructs and thoroughly academic ponderings. That said; I believe Professor Mitchell poses an interesting fundamental question as to whether the experience of viewing images has evolved within our minds to the point where we actually wonder if they have a life or consciousness of their own. If this is the case; the next question one may ponder is; what do they want? Professor Mitchell is quick to point out that in taking on the exercise of this thought experiment; we are not to proceed as though we are engaged in finding a cure for cancer here - my words; not his - but to proceed on a path of open-ended exploration. In attempting to answer this question; the author guides us along an extensive path that deals with numerous invocations; comparisons; analogies; postulates; arguments and other worldly considerations. Not only are the considerations of the world; but they contain a sampling of nearly everything in the world as well; from biblical chapter and verse to Marx; Blake; Nietzsche; Chaucer; Freud; Dante; et al. In the first half of this book; Professor Mitchell has indeed composed a concerto of tribute to much of Western Civilization. There are worse things one could do. That said; I would encourage the good Professor; in his ninth book (this is his eighth) to forsake his colleagues in academe just enough (heaven forbid!) to leave the huddled masses with fewer more distinct concepts and a more consistent theme. A reduction in the scope of considerations may help the reader to come away with a perception that there is a more differentiated hierarchy of importance amongst the contents of the book. In all fairness; each chapter of this very worthwhile book deserves its own review. I would also submit that the educational potential of this subject matter would not suffer in the least if the Professor were to delete his political inclinations; which; as interesting as they may be; do not enhance the subject matter of this book in any way. Anyone who wants to understand how we really relate to images should read this comprehensive book.
