The art of the past can seem very far away, obscured both by time and by knotty academic theory. Foregrounding the experience of the contemporary viewer, Look Again shows how this need not be the case. Ossian Ward's simple, ten-step programme acts as an aid to looking, breaking down the often obscure strategies of the Old Masters into intuitive categories - from Art as Honesty to Art as Vision. Look Again's novel approach is influenced by John Berger's Ways of Seeing, but is here updated for the art world of the 21st century. Key to this book is an emphasis on ways of experiencing Old Masters - more than just looking. Just as contemporary art should be judged by how it moves us, cajoles us and envelops us, so too can the great paintings of the world be seen as immersive, captivating, even participatory experiences. Ward does not deny the specific complexities and barriers associated with looking at art from other eras. Instead he offers readers a new formula to help illuminate this kind of art. His method not only provides the viewer with the tools to interpret a work of art, but also assumes that we hold some of this knowledge within ourselves already. In other words, everyone can share the enriching experience of Old Master paintings.

Die zeitgenoessische Kunst ist undogmatisch, vielfaltig und unterliegt thematisch weder einem vorab definierten Kanon, noch ist sie regional zu verorten. Doch welche Moeglichkeiten haben wir als Betrachter dann jenseits einer Kategorie der Beliebigkeit, wollen wir das Schaffen der Kunstler von heute beurteilen? Ossian Ward hat reinen Tisch gemacht und sich, befreit von allen tradierten Betrachtungsweisen, einen neuen frischen Blick auf das gesamte Spektrum der Gegenwartskunst erlaubt und dabei innovative Zugange geschaffen. Er oeffnet unseren Blick in acht Kapiteln auf ein neues System einer crossmedialen Klassifizierung mit Kategorien wie 'Kunst als Unterhaltung', 'Kunst als Konfrontation ', 'Kunst als Spektakel', 'Autobiographische Kunst', 'Meditative Kunst', 'Politische Kunst' und anderen mehr. Arbeiten, die dem Betrachter ratselhaft bleiben wurden, erhalten so ein plausibles Deutungsmuster. Zum besseren Verstandnis prasentiert der Autor in jeder Kategorie prominente und herausragende Werke als Schlussel zu einem besseren Verstandnis der jeweiligen Stroemung.
