Product detailed description
A New Way of Seeing challenges us to look beyond familiar masterpieces—from Botticelli’s Birth of Venus to Picasso’s Guernica—and discover the underappreciated details that ignite their lasting impact. Kelly Grovier’s fresh analysis uncovers the “eye-hook,” a tiny flourish of strangeness embedded in each work that pulses in our imagination across centuries.
Through comparative case studies—from the Terracotta Army of China’s First Emperor to Frida Kahlo’s intimate self-portraits—readers learn how subtle shifts in form, color, or composition can transform static images into moments of revelation. Grovier pairs each classic work with unexpected parallels to deepen our understanding and reignite our capacity for wonder.
A New Way of Seeing invites art lovers and curious minds alike to engage critically and delightfully with the visual world, rediscovering the magic hidden in every masterwork.
