Debunking the pervasive idea that specialist knowledge is required to understand and appreciate art, instead <i>How to Enjoy Art</i> focuses on experience and pleasure, demonstrating how anyone can find value and enjoyment in art. Examples from around the world and throughout art history--from works by Fra Angelico and Berthe Morisot to Kazuo Shiraga and Kara Walker--are used to demonstrate how a handful of core strategies and skills can help enhance the experience of viewing art works. With these skills, anyone can encounter any work of art--regardless of media, artist or period--and find some resonance with their own experiences. <i>How to Enjoy Art </i>encourages us to rediscover the fundamental pleasure in viewing art.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Ben Street </b>is an art historian and writer.
