Description

Hardcover: 176 pages Daniel Arasse explores how paintings can teach us about ways of seeing across the centuries. Through six engaging narrative "fictions," he guides readers through various adventures in seeing, from Velázquez to Titian, Bruegel to Tintoretto. Arasse's book is a fresh look at the power of painting, demonstrating that we don't really see what these paintings are trying to show us. By taking a closer look, he shows how art historians can interpret with any seriousness what they observe. This book is full of humor as well as insight, making it a great choice for anyone who cares about really looking at and understanding paintings.
