Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Short description:

Through a close analysis of paintings, photographs, and novels it reconsiders the relationship between medium and content, and proposes a new understanding of the 'real likenesses' that we encounter in representational art.
MoreLong description:
Real Likenesses presents a radical new approach to artistic representation. At its heart is a serious reconsideration of the relationship between medium and content in representational art, which counters currently dominant theories that make attention to the former inevitably a distraction from attending to the latter. Through close analysis of paintings, photographs, and novels, Michael Morris proposes a new understanding of the real likenesses we encounter in representational art; what they are, how they are made present to us, and how they are created. The result is an intuitive way of thinking about how these art forms work.
