| Summary: | We live in a world of images. Yet, we are poorly trained to deal with them. The study of the visual has traditionally been confined to art education. However, the world of images is much wider than what the artistic canon considers as its own. Decades ago, historian and art critic James Elkins made a call for a new history of art which would expand its iconographic repertoire, since – he stressed – the art canon addresses in fact a very small selection of all images. Elkins emphasized the interest in focusing on those images whose major aim is considered to be conveying information, in particular, those in the domain of science, technology and medicine. |
