Picture Theory: Essays on Verbal and Visual Representation
What's good in this book, is really good. Particularly, Mitchell's discussion of William Blake is astounding and I found myself captivated by it. Unfortunately, his language could go up for a "most unreadable theoretical discourse" award. I read this during grad school and it helped me to rethink several things about the relationship between the word and image (hence, the Blake piece), but ultimately I am having trouble remembering everything I read. The brilliant moments are brilliant, but the rest is almost too hard to decipher. Especially if you aren't up on what's happening in the art world.
