Description

Jennifer Doyle explores the relationship between difficulty and emotion in contemporary art, treating emotion as an artist's medium. She examines how works of art challenge our experience of not only the artist's feelings but also our own.

Doyle discusses performance art, painting, and photography, providing new perspectives on artists who use emotions to question assumptions about identity, intimacy, and expression. Her approach offers a welcoming entry point into artworks that may initially seem off-putting or confrontational.

The book counters the tendency to shut down discussion of emotional intensity in contemporary art by offering a critical language that allows readers to accept and learn from it.
