THE ACCIDENTAL MASTERPIECE : ON THE ART OF LIFE, AND VICE VERSA by MICHAEL KIMMELMAN (Hardcover - 2005) ISBN: 9781594200557 Subject: SCIENCE & NATURE Publisher: PENGUIN PRESS US The Accidental Masterpiece encourages us to live life with eyes wide open, because the drive to live life more alertly is instinctive, and, whether you are an artist by trade or by desire, the art of seeing well is one that can be learned. Kimmelman describes a handful of people who regard art as life・s great passion to illustrate art・s power to transform lives. You don・t have to be an artist to experience art・s truths and consolations because art is not just created, it is also discovered. Kimmelman contends that art can be found almost anywhere and everywhere, if only our eyes are trained to see it. This book points out art・s special power to transcend the moment and dissolve time by connecting us with what we cherish and deem longer lasting than ourselves. |
