How to See: Looking, Talking, and Thinking About Art Audiobook (Free)

How does art work? So how exactly does it move us, inform us, challenge us? Internationally renowned painter David Salle’s incisive essay collection illuminates the task of many of the very most important artists from the twentieth century. Engaging with a wide range of Salle’s close friends and contemporaries-from painters to conceptual performers such as Jeff Koons, John Baldessari, Roy Lichtenstein, and Alex Katz, among others-How to See explores not merely the multilayered personalities of the artists themselves but also the exclusive character of their oeuvres.

Salle writes with humor and verve, replacing the jargon of artwork theory with precise and evocative explanations that help the listener create a personal and intuitive engagement with artwork. The result: a grasp class on how to see with an artist’s eyesight.
