"Beguiling and informative"-Wall Street Journal Learn to see art as
an artist does. Discover how a painting's composition or a
sculpture's spatial structure influence the experience of what
you're seeing. With an artist as your guide, viewing art becomes a
powerfully enriching experience that will stay in your mind long
after you've left a museum. A visit to view art can be
overwhelming, exhausting, and unrewarding. Lincoln Perry wants to
change that. In fifteen essays-each framed around a specific
theme-he provides new ways of seeing and appreciating art. Drawing
heavily on examples from the European traditions of art, Perry aims
to overturn assumptions and asks readers to re-think artistic
prejudices while rebuilding new preferences. Included are essays on
how artists "read" paintings, how scale and format influence
viewers, how to engage with sculptures and murals, as well as
guides to some of the great museums and churches of Europe. Seeing
Like an Artist is for any artist, art-lover, or museumgoer who
wants to grow their appreciation for the art of others.
