The Magic of Modern Art
Robyn Jamison
This book has one purpose—to offer everyone the opportunity to become as wild about modern and contemporary art as I am. I am committed that your visits to modern and contemporary art exhibits become joyful, enriching experiences that you eagerly anticipate, avidly soak in and never get over.
I say that the ability to appreciate art, including every type of art, is innate to all human beings. I have discovered that unlocking this natural love of art has much more to do with clearing out what's in the way than it does with accumulating information.
When I look at my own love affair with the art of our time, I see clearly that when I am focused entirely on the art in front of me—setting aside judgment and cognitive thinking—that's when I find myself profoundly moved and deeply satisfied.
I have come to the conclusion that the key to unlocking the magic of modern and contemporary art is in the ability to immerse oneself in the art and truly "experience" it. So, the obvious and most vital question becomes, "How does one learn to experience modern and contemporary art?" That is the work of this book.
