Unearthing these portraits, the author proposes that the rage for eye miniatures - and their abrupt disappearance - reveals a knot in the unfolding of the history of vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hanneke Grootenboer has fixed her art-historical gaze on a largely overlooked category of visual representation: the late eighteenth-century miniature eye portrait. Precious gifts of love and mementos of loss, the tiny portraits of individual eyes open onto a cultural archive of affective behaviors and practices of seeing that would otherwise remain largely invisible. Treasuring the Gaze stands as a revelatory new chapter in the history of visuality and visual culture.\" (Lisa Saltzman, Bryn Mawr College)\"","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51036514877783,"sku":"9780226309668","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226309668.jpg?v=1750932260","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/treasuring-the-gaze-9780226309668","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
