No leap is too mighty, no height too lofty, for the seven-league imagination of Jan Atkins. This master on insight now turns his magical gaze on the everyday world of pencils and pies, and finds a special way of looking at things. In delightfully detailed illustrations and text, he examines what such common and uncommon wonders as city streets, ocean liners, and ballpoint pens look like inside, beneath the surface.
What most people don't know is that Jan Atkins has X-ray eyes. He can see inside things. As an artist he can depict the shape and texture and outside of what he sees. But it takes a philosopher to see inside. Here is an artist-philosopher, with the eye to discern and the wit to describe what he sees on the outside, and the wisdom to understand the shape and meaning of what he sees Inside.
It makes you think...and appreciate The Art of Seeing.
