Dominic Lopes's Sight and Sensibility contributes, with originality and sharp argumentation, to a growing interest, within contemporary aesthetics, for questions of value, but with respect to a domain - the aesthetic value of pictures - that has so far received less attention...there is no doubt that this book brings us closer to the truth regarding an interesting entanglement of questions regarding pictures, their experience, and their values.

Alessandro Giovannelli, Mind

...a focused, lucid, and meticulous study of the nature of pictorial value ... The great merit of Sight and Sensibility is that it provides a subtle and convincing account of the manner in which different types of value interact, an account that is sensitive to, and thus brings forth, fine aspects of our encounter with pictorial works and the impact of such an encounter on our sensibilities ... of interest to readers concerned with matters of evaluation not just of pictorial art but of all kinds of art, due to the unified and comprehensive conception of value that it offers - a conception that places our humane concerns about works of art firmly in the (traditionally insulated) domain of aesthetic appreciation.

Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

...tightly focused and carefully argued... an exceptionally interesting contribution to the philosophy of art: it contains subtle, concise, and convincing discussions of a number of difficult concepts and contentious doctrines... lucid and meticulous
