This captivating, informative, and extraordinarily poetic book is dedicated to the analysis of world art masterpieces and offers a new answer to the question of what makes great art great. The remarkable artistic images collected in it - from a figurine made of mammoth ivory (circa 40,000 BC) and Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" (1505-1510) to Duchamp's "Fountain" (1917) and Picasso's "Guernica" (1937) - have left a mark on the cultural consciousness of humanity over the millennia. Kelly Grovier tells the stories of these and more than fifty other epochal works, creating a radically new history of art. He departs from the traditional description of biographies, styles, and chronologies of various "isms" and suggests interacting with art differently: not just learning about the works, but learning from them. Grovier reveals elements in them that bridge art and reality, endowing the artistic object with life value, not just visual value. The book is richly illustrated with stunning works of art. Kelly Grovier sheds new light on them, daring to highlight one often unnoticed detail - a "hook for the eye." In it, the aesthetic essence of the work crystallizes, giving it greatness.
