Great Art Explained
James Payne
Based on the popular and successful YouTube channel of the same name, 'Great Art Explained' unveils the fascinating stories behind some of the world's most iconic paintings and sculptures. A fresh approach to a classic subject, Payne's analysis sheds light on 30 different masterpieces from around the globe and reveals what makes them truly timeless works of art. Each chapter delves into not only the art itself but also the artist's life, as well as the work's place in their wider oeuvre; in other words, what makes it 'great'. From Hilma af Klint's occult altarpieces to Claude Monet's Water Lilies, Botticelli's The Birth of Venus to Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed, each artwork is explored with clarity and passion. Whether a seasoned art enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this book promises to deepen your appreciation and enrich your understanding of some of the world's greatest treasures.
