An approachable guide to Old Master painting from a new perspective that offers a simple aid to looking, demystifying the often obscure strategies of the greatest painters of all time.
This book engages with some of historys greatest art, from the spectacular theatrics of Bosch to the luminous scenes of Giotto, and starts with the idea that the art of the past can and should be seen from the viewpoint of a contemporary observer of visual culturerather than just an elitist, academic interpretation.Ossian Wards simple, ten-step guide acts as an aid to looking at and breaking down the often obscure strategies of the Old Masters into intuitive categoriesfrom Art as Honesty to Art as Vision. Just as contemporary art should be judged by how it moves us, cajoles our senses, and envelops us, so too can the great paintings of history be seen as immersive, captivating, and even participatory experiences.Look Again
