Notiz: "This book is concerned with how clothes in works of art have been connected with clothes in real life, during the two and a half thousand years of Western history in which the aim of art has been to represent the visible world with conviction. Each of these chapters explores the idea that in civilized Western life the clothed figure looks more persuasive and comprehensive in art than it does in reality. Since this is so, the way clothes strike the eye comes to be mediated by current visual assumptions made in pictures of dressed people. Changes of style in clothing are consequently inextricable from changes in the medium of art in which the human figure usually appears, and the clothed body looks most natural when it is perceived in terms of its naturalistic image" (Preface, S. XI).
