Abstract (en)
The reviewer finds The fabric of the human body a useful compendium and a valuable source book despite its conceptual simplicity. She focuses on Stafford's book, drawing attention to a wide variety of methodological shortcomings, and concluding that the cause of art history is not well served by it, despite its central message that visual images and their interpreters lack status because Western philosophical traditions distrust images and prefer words.
