About This Item
Synopsis
The Art of Looking Sideways is a primer in visual intelligence, an exploration of the workings of the eye, the hand, the brain and the imagination. It is an inexhaustible mine of anecdotes, quotations, images, curious facts and useless information, oddities, serious science, jokes and memories, all concerned with the interplay between the verbal and the visual, and the limitless resources of the human mind. Loosely arranged in 72 chapters, all this material is presented in a wonderfully inventive series of pages that are themselves masterly demonstrations of the expressive use of type, space, colour and imagery.

About THE CROSS Art + Books
We stock books about art, design, fashion and history, with a lot of books about Asian, Australian and Pacific arts, crafts, design and cultural history. We have books on women artists, academic analyses and dissident life as well as monographs on Old Masters and avant-garde artists.
Our shop is in Sydney's legendary Kings Cross, which provided alternatives to Australia's normalities and suburbia for 80 years. Colloquially known as The Cross, this name signifies Antipodean bohemia, street gangs and a famous red light district.
We buy quality books on the visual arts, architecture & design. We do not sell any children's books, cooking books, novels or self-help books. Five minutes walk from Kings Cross station, we are open between 10 – 6, every day of the week.
