Book Iconography

"People think of art as pictures, an experience beyond words. They may never know how recently painting grew apart from text..Right into the Renaissance, manuscripts teemed with images. In the world between two hands, shared by only a reader and an anonymous artist, art held individual experience rather than public spectacle."
