Get the picture : a mind-bending journey among the inspired artists and obsessive art fiends who taught me how to see / Bianca Bosker.

Bosker, Bianca, (author., Author).

Summary:

"Journalist Bianca Bosker's existence was upended when she wandered into the art world--and couldn't look away. Intrigued by artists who hyperventilate around their favorite colors and art fiends who max out credit cards to show hunks of metal they think can change the world, Bosker grew fixated on understanding why art matters and how she could engage with it more deeply. Probing everything from cave paintings to Instagram, and from the science of sight to the importance of beauty, Get the Picture will change the way you see forever"-- Back cover.
