Review Quotes
Marina Warner | Times Literary Supplement, "International Books of the Year"
"Stoichita is an art historian with a tremendous range, and has brewed together optics and metaphysics, phantasmagoria and propaganda, Plato and Warhol to conjure meaning out of shadows in his engagingly original study."
Times Higher Education
“Ambitious and a pleasure to read. . . . A thoroughly worthwhile book.”
Lee Adair Lawrence | Washington Times
“[Stoichita] shows how shadows are deftly used, among other purposes, to suggest the ambiguity of the human psyche.”
Tate Magazine
“Discriminating, inspired interrogation. . . . Dazzling analysis.”
