The Magic of Modern Art-How to Love Modern & Contemporary Art - Hardcover

by Robyn Jamison (Author), Carol Winkler (Editor), Antonio Manega (Designed by)

In this highly engaging and empowering book, artist and innovator, Robyn Jamison, introduces a fresh, accessible approach to appreciating Modern and Contemporary Art.

Working from her premise that the ability to appreciate this art has much to do with clearing out what's in the way than it does with accumulating information, Jamison systematically dismantles the preconceived notions that stand between museum goers and their natural affinity for all art.

Once these preconceived notions have been dispelled, readers are invited to step into a new relationship with Modern and Contemporary Art. From there, they are introduced to a variety of powerful, effective ways to access their innate love of art and explore Modern and Contemporary Art with freedom and confidence.

"When I inquire into my own love affair with Modern and Contemporary Art," writes Jamison, "I see clearly that when I am focused entirely on the art in front of me--setting aside judgment and cognitive thinking--that's when I find myself profoundly moved and deeply satisfied."

This book provides readers with a tried-and-true process for transforming their visits to Modern and Contemporary Art exhibits into joyful, enriching experiences that they eagerly anticipate, avidly soak in and never get over.
