  • A number of disciplines are showing new interest in the study of images. Although art history has the most developed critical and historiographic tools for interpreting images, art historians have not ventured far outside the domains of fine art and popular imagery. As a result, image studies in other disciplines are proceeding independently, without utilizing art history's critical apparatus. This essay introduces image studies and shows how even the most technical illustrations can be just as rich in pictorial meanings as central examples of fine art.
