Purchase options and add-ons

An exploration of echoes and resonances across two millennia of visual culture, this book brings together weird, wondrous, and unforgettable imagery in one stunning volume. 

A remarkable collection of over five hundred images, Affinities is a carefully curated visual journey illuminating connections across more than two thousand years of image-making. Drawing on a decade of archival immersion at The Public Domain Review, an online journal and not-for-profit project dedicated to exploring curious and compelling works from the history of art, literature, and ideas, this volume has been assembled from a vast array of sources: from manuscripts to museum catalogs, and ship logs to primers on Victorian magic. The images are arranged in a single captivating sequence that unfurls according to a dreamlike logic, through a play of visual echoes and evolving thematic threads―hatching eggs paired with early Burmese world maps, marbled endpapers meet tattooed stowaways, and fireworks explode beside deep sea coral.

At once an art book, a sourcebook, and a kaleidoscopic visual poem, Affinities is a unique and enthralling publication that will offer something different on each visit. A compelling art object and visual experience in its own right, this collection provides a launchpad for further exploration and inventive engagement across all forms of visual culture and expression.

2.0 out of 5 stars Inaccessible fonts!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2022
Verified Purchase
Quite a wonderful book that fires the imagination. The selection of figures is quite amazing. However the whole package is let down, actually ruined by the publishers or authors choice of font. The Introduction uses a font of size and clarity that should have set the standard for the book.
Instead the remaining and most important part of the book uses a stupidly small and faint font! The captions and extensive notes for all figures use this inaccessible font.
For the experience of viewing the figures, get the book. For the accompanying notes and full experience, forget it.
I really cannot recommend the book given the choices made by the publisher.
