Mind's Eye: An Eye of the Beholder Collection: A Collection of Visual Puzzles - Hardcover

Funny, enlightening, and unsettling, Peter Kuper's work is never dull. Mind's Eye: An Eye of the Beholder Collection assembles his newspaper strip work and provides a more appropriate format for the puzzle-like pieces. Each consists of four small frames "seen" by a particular viewer and a fifth, larger frame pulling back to see whose eyes we were looking through before. Kuper's blocky style, reminiscent of primitive eastern European propaganda posters, perfectly captures the hidden anxieties and rare pleasures of ordinary life, especially the heightening of senses brought about by crisis. His progressive-left political slant suffuses the book, which touches on larger themes as well as the more personal. --Rob Lightner
