Opis

What is art? A product, a process, an emotion, a...? How do you judge it? By technique, saleroom price, artist's name, emotional response...? What really changed thanks to artists such as Duchamp and Hirst? What can we learn from the Chinese in how we react to art, and from the way we approach and appreciate music? In this delightfully readable book, Hugh Moss, art expert and artist, makes a highly intelligent and persuasive case for a controversial new theory of art that he hopes will make it easier for everyone to feel comfortable and confident in the judgements they come to about art, and which will enhance their enjoyment of it. He gives short shrift to those who take a product-oriented view of art and he highlights how much accepted current thinking about art is the result of the intellectual tyranny of rational conditioning. To fully appreciate art, he argues, it is necessary to keep your own intellectual tyrant in its rightful place, where it can add a helpful rational dimension, while seeking to engage the transcendental side of your consciousness in coming to your own enlightened view about a work of art. Not easy, he admits, but immensely rewarding for those who achieve it, and in his closing chapter he gives some useful guidance on how to look at art so as to reap those rewards. Written with a light touch, seasoned with irreverence and wit, and wonderfully illustrated by Peter Suart, this is a book that art experts and non-expert collectors, together with students,will find full of food for thought.
