I found reading chapter 1 very informative for how images and photographs fail to indicate a sense of the size of an object. I find myself creating the 'right' size for what I'm seeing. Like with the Lichtenstein piece, without reading the caption and seeing the artist on the ladder I had assumed that the piece was like 3 x 8 ft. I guess its like my mind playing a magic trick on me.
It's weird because magic is tricking the eye, making the unreal seem real, which is really what is going on with the photos of most art work, but they are real and the photos are making them unreal.
