HOW TO THINK LIKE AN ARTIST (HB)

How did the greatest artists in history look at the world through new eyes? What have we learned from the reach, boldness and originality of their art - and what can we still learn? From the allusive frescoes of the Renaissance to the irony of 20th century conceptual art, this book interweaves the lives of great artists with descriptions of their most famous and significant works. The author also re-examines the canon to make space for major figures from other cultures and traditions, as well as those who have been traditionally overlooked.
