Publisher Description: Is art just a nice-to-have? Or is it deeper, far more integral...even necessary? It is these, amongt other questions that this book probes; through painting, music, literature, architecture, sculpture, photography and films...spanning cultures - from Europe and Africa to India and Australia, and artistic periods - from the ancient to the modern. Leveraging his considerable experience as a research professional, Ivan Fernandez combines riveting insights from diverse artists of the past and the present, a dazzling variety of astonishing facts and powerful questions for us to reflect on. In language that is simple, elegant and imbued with passion, Ivan utters an urgent, sincere plea; urging us to draw actionable life lessons from art that can help us rise above ourselves. To make a masterpiece of our own lives. And as a guide on this epic voyage, he takes us on a fascinating journey inward; ploughing not merely the depths of artistic insight, but of the inscrutable human spirit itself
"Ivan Fernandez's cross-disciplinary approach - infusing insights from philosophy, literature, music and art - make this book a great read " |
