Taking us into the minds of artistsfrom contemporary stars to old mastersSee What Youre Missing shows us how to look and experience the world with their heightened awareness. Artists are expert lookers: they have learned to pay attention. The rest of us spend most of our time on auto-pilot, rushing from place to place, our overfamiliarity blinding us to the marvellous, life-affirming phenomena of our world. But that doesnt have to be the case. In his inimitable engaging style, Will Gompertz takes us into the minds of artistsfrom contemporary stars to old masters, the well-known to the lesser-so, and from around the worldto show us how to look and experience the world with their heightened awareness. In See What Youre Missing we learn, for example, how Hasegawa Tohaku can help us to see beauty, how David Hockney helps us to see colour, and how Frida Kahlo can help us see pain. In doing so we come to know the exhilarating feeling of being truly alive. See What Youre Missing is at once entertaining and enlightening art history while delivering empowering new insights to its reader.
