LOOK AGAIN: HOW TO EXPERIENCE THE OLD MASTERS (HB)

The art of the past can seem very far away, obscured both by time and by knotty academic theory. Foregrounding the experience of the contemporary viewer, Look Again shows how this need not be the case. Ossian Ward's simple, ten-step programme acts as an aid to breaking down the often obscure strategies of the Old Masters into intuitive categories. Ward’s method not only provides the viewer with the tools to interpret a work of art, but also assumes that we hold some of this knowledge within ourselves already.
