Art is a center of human experiences, an essential component of the cultural landscape of engaged citizens in the 21st century. Yet, it seems almost unattainable for many. However, this doesn't have to be the case. In collaboration with Thames & Hudson, one of the leading art publishers worldwide, we present the "Art Essentials," a series that is both knowledgeable and affordable, making art accessible to everyone. For curious art enthusiasts or gallery visitors, the Art Essentials are the perfect companion, as they provide the necessary background knowledge to appreciate and better understand art. In the first title of the series, renowned art historian Susan Woodford examines the origins, design, and themes of hundreds of images from various eras and parts of the world, explaining why we admire images. She compares artistic approaches.
