Description

This volume brings together over 25 scholarly essays, reviews and shorter contributions by Peter Hecht, preceded by an introduction on what he thinks his life in art history has taught him.

The title indicates what his collected papers have in common: together they represent an attitude of listening to what you see.

Hecht is very suspicious of applying a method and believes that looking at an image until it speaks is essential to understanding it.

Also, he has done much to prove that it not only pays to study the subject of a picture as part of an iconographical tradition, but that one should study it within the oeuvre of the artist who made it as well.
