Alan Fletcher, The Art of Looking Sideways Review

Overall Rating

Visual intelligence, an exploration of the workings of the eye, le hand, le brain and the fired imagination. Alan Fletcher, The Art of Looking Sideways a inexhaustible treasure of anecdotes, quotations, images, curious facts and useless information - but then I questioned is it useless? I was stimulated to the point of exhaustion - not since the Lubin experience have I felt like this. The numerous oddities, boffin science, jokes and memories, all concerned with the interplay - but cusping juxtapostion, between the verbal - the visual, bloody clever stuff. 72 chapters, certainly value for money excellent use of type, space, colour and imagery.
