Riassunto

Many of us have stood before famous paintings or buildings - and not known quite how to respond. So how can we get more out of looking at works of art? The answer, argues John Armstrong, lies in building strong personal links with individual works. Background information can be helpful, but what really matters are our inner resources: a combination of contemplation, sensitivity and reverie which allow us to invest our own emotions in art without falling into pure subjectivity. 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.
