Each year 11 million people trek to the Louvre to gawk at the Mona
Lisa. Many visitors clutch guide books in hand describing the
painting. For some, it's the experience of a lifetime, one they'll
talk about with friends and family for decades. Yet some modern
researchers say that the vast majority of people will never
recognize the hidden messages in this painting. That's because
those hidden messages are subliminal. Buried below the threshold of
conscious awareness, Da Vinci used techniques people never notice.
Not only don't people know what they're seeing, they would be
shocked to find out. A surprisingly large number of famous
paintings fall into the same category. That is, they employ
subliminal techniques to enhance the effectiveness of the work or
to encode messages within portraits and landscapes. No book,
however, has ever attempted to provide an overview of the technical
sophistication and arcane methods that artists worldwide have used
to conceal secret meaning in their work. Every Picture Hides a
Story is the first book to expose the subliminal content in the
world's greatest paintings. Titillating, subversive, and building
on the groundbreaking work of pioneers of art criticism, this book
will enable readers to view art masterpieces with greater
understanding. And their enjoyment of these works will be
exponentially enhanced. This full-color book contains 90 images of
the paintings and their details.
