Description
"A visit to a museum can be overwhelming, exhausting, and unrewarding. Lincoln Perry wants to change that. In sixteen essays--each framed around a specific theme--he provides new ways of seeing and appreciating art. As Perry says, 'I'll try to evoke what I've come to love not because I believe it's what you should love, but, rather, because I hope my enthusiasm might inspire you to find what you love.' Perry is a disarmingly charming tour guide to museums large or small and artists from Bruegel to Pollock. Along the way, he weaves in personal stories from his own artistic journey including the nights he slept in his beaten-up VW Bus in the Louvre's parking lot. Drawing heavily on examples from the European tradition of art, the author aims to overturn assumptions and cause the reader to re-think artistic prejudices while rebuilding new preferences."-- Provided by publisher.
