How can we explain, even to ourselves, what we see or think we see? And how can art historians interpret with any seriousness what they observe? In six engaging, short narrative "fictions," each richly illustrated in color, Daniel Arasse, one of the most brilliant art historians of our time, cleverly and gracefully guides readers through a variety of adventures in seeing, from Velázquez to Titian, Bruegel to Tintoretto. By demonstrating that we don't really see what these paintings are trying to show us, Arasse makes it clear that we need to take a closer look. In chapters that each have a different form, including a letter, an interview, and an animated conversation with a colleague, the book explores how these pictures teach us about ways of seeing across the centuries. In the process, Arasse freshly lays bare the dazzling power of painting. Fast-paced and full of humor as well as insight, this is a book for anyone who cares about really looking at, seeing, and understanding paintings. 606 $aPainting$xThemes, motives 606 $aPainting$xAppreciation 615 0$aPainting$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aPainting$xAppreciation. 676 $a750.1 700 $aArasse$b Daniel$0302799 701 $aArasse$b Daniel$0302799 701 $aWaters$b Alyson$f1955-$01613113 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819907803321 996 $aTake a closer look$94093954 997 $aUNINA
