Touching The Art: A Guide To Enjoying Art at a Museum

By Luc Travers

"A visit to an art museum does not have to be a history lesson. Appreciating a painting is not reserved for a cultured few.

Get ready to experience an innovative yet familiar-feeling approach to enjoying art!"

For many people a visit to an art museum means a tedious history lesson. If you aren't an art historian or an artist, a trip to an art museum feels like a draining cultural duty.

The visual arts, however, have the potential to be as thrilling to experience and as personally moving as your favorite movies. In this book, Luc Travers will introduce you to five powerful works of art, and teach you how to experience them like you would a great movie or novel. You will learn how to "read" an artwork; how to bring static images to life; how to connect your life to the lives of the characters in the art; and how to create for yourself a museum experience that will thrill and inspire you.

You will never look at the visual arts the same way.
