Pressestimmen
This sustained examination of an instrument so integral to the history of Romantic esthetics, and yet so neglected, is a valuable and important work.--Library Journal
Synopsis
In this first full-length study of a largely forgotten optical device from the eighteenth century, Arnaud Maillet reconfigures our historical understanding of visual experience and meaning in relation to notions of opacity, transparency, and imagination. Many are familiar with the Claude glass as a small black convex mirror used by artists and spectators of landscape to reflect a view and make tonal values and areas of light and shade visible. In a groundbreaking account, Maillet goes well beyond this particular function of the glass and situates it within a richer archaeology of Western thought, exploring the uncertainties and anxieties about mirrors, reflections, and their potential distortions. He takes us from the magical and occult background of the 'black mirror', through a full evaluation of its importance in the age of the picturesque, to its persistence in a range of technological and representational practices, including photography, film, and contemporary art. "The Claude Glass" is a lasting contribution to the history of Western visual culture. This is a study of a largely forgotten optical device and its relation to notions of opacity, transparency, and imagination.

Arnaud Maillet's study of the Claude Glass was informative and insightful in the main. As an artist and geometer I found all of the information contained in the book of great interest and instructive. As one who has of late been studying the subject of reflections and mirrors in general, as well as applications to the nuero-visual and geometric, this filled an improtant gap in my knowledge. It may not be a perfectly organized study but it is the only one I am aware of in English. It had the effect of my creating my own Claude Glass with a converse clock face glass cover and enamel black paint sprayed on the back. I have been enjoying experimentation with it since and will no doubt employ it in some art work. Any book that prompts one to use the information inside is a book worthy of reading I think. It seemed to cover the various areas of the subject; It's developement and history, occult use for scrying, as a device for reducing an image and also foraccessing the tonal values. I doubt I would require another book on the subject after reading and studying this one.
The Claude Glass, a mirror made of black glass used by landscape painters to judge hues, is, as this work demonstrates, a potentially rich source of metaphor and allegory. This is an intriguing but occasionally obtuse text that attempts to locate deep cultural meaning implied in the black mirror's disturbing and sometimes contradictory symbolism.
It is a very erudite study that explores the history and use of the Claude glass from many different directions.
The material presented is interesting for those unfamiliar with the Claude glass, but the writing challenges the reader - even a few with Ph.Ds
A beautiful, interesting book on the subject of the use of dark mirrors in magic practices and as a visual, reflective tool in artistic image making for the old master painters of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Made me want to buy my own obsidian magic mirror! Nice photo illustrations. Book received in fine condition.
