Dentro l'opera. Ediz. inglese

Looking at a work of art is a different experience each time,\r\nbut with one constant: every time we take the time to admire\r\na painting or sculpture we interrogate with our eyes the images\r\nwe have before us and expect, more or less consciously, some\r\nanswers. Do I like what I see or am I repelled by it? Does it interest\r\nor bore me? Do I understand what I am seeing? Do I understand\r\nthe choices the artist made? And is that inscription really by\r\nthe author of the work?\r\nThe aim of this book is to stimulate readers to work out their\r\nown questions, offering some cues for reflection, or maybe -\r\na bit ambitiously - a “method” for interrogating artworks that\r\nis always applicable and can provide some further stimulus.\r\nThe eye is urged to focus on some chosen details: whether because\r\nof their very high quality or technique, or because they tell a story, providing a narrative thread, or because they help us understand the conservation history of the work.
