Irish film director, critic and writer Mark Cousins has created a magnificent book and an artifact of great artistic value that reviews the history of the human gaze throughout the centuries. From ancient civilizations to the era of smartphone screens. History and art of the gaze represents a fundamental milestone in our ability to understand art and our sensitivity, as John Berger's Ways of Seeing was in its day. Thanks to the visual examples inserted in the book we can understand how our perception of reality and the interests of our visual intelligence have evolved in each era.
