Writing about Visual Art

4.2/5 ( ratings)

“A revelation for the specialist and casual art lover alike. Thanks to this profound book, we will see, think and write about art anew.”

How interpretations of art transform meaning and significance
How much-discussed work becomes difficult to see afresh.
And more!
