Description
The Human Touch: Making Art, Leaving Traces by Elenor Ling, Suzanne Reynolds, and Jane Munro is an exploration of the fundamental role of touch in human experience. Through a series of lavishly illustrated essays, the authors examine anatomy and skin, the relationship between the brain, hand, and creativity, and the ways in which touch shapes our relationships with others and ourselves. The book draws on works of art spanning four thousand years and from across the globe, featuring pieces by renowned artists such as Raphael, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Kollwitz, alongside contemporary artists like Judy Chicago and Frank Auerbach. The authors also consider objects that hold personal significance, including love tokens, devotional items, and works of art created with the human touch. This timely and thought-provoking book offers new ways of looking at the world and our place in it, inviting readers to reflect on the power of touch in their own lives.
