Riassunto

How many of us have stood before famous paintings only to realize, with quiet panic, that we can't work out what the fuss is all about? What do we have to do - beyond just staring - to get the most out of a picture? While many might turn to books onart history, theory or criticism, John Armstrong instead considers the roots of our personal attachment to art. There is no access to art except in private - in looking, thinking, and feeling as we stand before an individual work. In this illuminating book, John Armstrong describes, in straightforward language, the personal resources we each need to cultivate in order to get the most out of art.
