Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"While showing great assurance in talking about Robert Frank’s still photography, George Kouvaros not only gives the films due consideration on their own terms, but also in the way they reflected Frank’s overall art."—Stephen Brooke, York University
"This book is a must read for those interested in Frank or avant-garde cinema."—CHOICE
"This oeuvre endeavors to take its topics on their own terms, seeking to divine what lies at their heart. Awakening the Eye is the latest in George Kouvaros’s ongoing realist criticism, productively enervating Frank’s audio-visions from the inside and thereby remaking them anew for contemporary scholarship."—Screening the Past
