A New Way of Seeing by Kelly Grovier reveals the hidden details of iconic works – from the Terracotta Army to Botticelli to Guernica and Frida Kahlo – and explains why they have appealed to us for centuries.

Detailed information

Product detailed description

A New Way of Seeing by cultural critic Kelly Grovier goes deeper than traditional interpretations and isolates a single, often overlooked detail in each masterpiece – a flash of peculiarity that gives the painting or sculpture its enduring power.

From the Terracotta Army of the First Emperor, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, and Picasso's Guernica to Frida Kahlo's self-portraits, Grovier shows how these small, hidden elements resonate in the minds of viewers for generations and offer a new perspective on well-known works.

Through comparative analyses of seemingly disparate works, the author guides us on a journey that frees us from ingrained habits of perception and encourages us to look at art with fresh eyes and discover its truest meaning.
