Exploring the interplay between photography and art history, The Altering Eye: Photography at the National Gallery of Art presents a curated collection of photographs reflecting diverse artistic strategies. The book emphasizes photography’s role in shaping visual perception and interpretation within the context of a major art institution.

Spanning 360 pages, the volume, authored by Sarah Greenough and published by National Geographic Books in 2015, situates photographic works alongside the broader collection of the National Gallery of Art. The images engage with themes of transformation, the act of seeing, and the evolving relationship between photographic art and traditional media.
