Become an empowered art viewer. No prior experience necessary.
The Art Museum Insider gives you everything you need to have more satisfying and meaningful experiences with visual art. This book introduces fundamental ideas and key skills that will allow you to make your own informed opinions about art whenever and however you encounter it.
This isn’t an art history book. You won’t learn about specific artworks or memorize names and dates, and you won’t need to study each style or movement separately. Instead, you’ll discover core themes that apply to all forms of visual art and cultivate ways of thinking about them in any artworks you choose. There’s no prior experience necessary, no jargon, and no need for endless years of study.
