Seeing Slowly: Looking at Modern Art by Michael Findlay — Image from Goodreads

I recently read Michael Findlay’s Seeing Slowly: Looking at Modern Art. I’ve been struggling to write a review for a few weeks, so I decided not to. Findlay is an international art dealer, and this book is about his method of enjoying modern and contemporary art. I disagree with him about a fair few things, but I think that his ideas are worth considering if you’re interested (as I am) in figuring out the best ways to enjoy art.
