title: The Unseen Eye: Photographs from the Unconscious
author:  W.M. Hunt 
description: Hunt is a collector, and has been for more than 30 years. His is a curious collection: all of his photographs are about concealed or obscured eyes. As a result, his book, which draws only from his collection, is all about the role the viewer plays in photography and what it means to look at pictures. With works from photographers like Brassai, Joel Peter Witkin, Cindy Sherman, Alexandra Boulat, Adam Fuss, it is also an impressive survey of photography from the 19th century to the present. (<i>The New York Times Magazine</i>)<br /><br />The Unseen Eye by W.M. Hunt is perhaps the most compelling anthology of photographs I have encountered. Comprised of 370 images from Hunt's largest collection of photographs, Collection Dancing Bear, it is a unique assortment of images, ranging from vernacular photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries, to iconic reportage images, to photographs from the giants of the photographic art world.

  The little hunchback Zia toiled slowly up the steep road, keeping
  
  
  in the deepest shadows, even though the night had long fallen.
  
  
  Sometimes he staggered with weariness or struck his foot against a
  
  
  stone and smothered his involuntary cry of pain. He was so full of
  
  
  terror that he was afraid to utter a sound which might cause any
  
  
  traveler to glance toward him. This he feared more than any other
  
  
  thing—that some man or woman might look at him too closely. If such a
  
  
  one knew much and had keen eyes, he or she might in some way guess
