What Are You Looking At?: 150 Years of Modern Art in the Blink of an Eye Audiobook (Free)

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of What Are You Looking At? by Will Gompertz, read by Roy McMilllan.

What is modern art? Why perform we either think it’s great or loathe it? And just why is it worthy of a lot damn money? Join Will Gompertz on the dazzling tour which will change the way you look at contemporary art forever. From Monet’s drinking water lilies to Vehicle Gogh’s sunflowers, from Warhol’s soup cans to Hirst’s pickled shark, hear the tales behind the masterpieces, meet the artists because they really were, and find out the real point of contemporary art.

Become familiar with: not absolutely all conceptual art is definitely bollocks; Picasso is definitely king (but Cézanne is better); Pollock can be no drip; Dali decorated with his moustache; a urinal transformed the span of art, why your 5-year-old actually couldn’t do it. Refreshing, irreverent and always straightforward, What Are You Looking At? asks all the basic queries that you were too scared to ask. The next gallery trip is going to be a little less intimidating and much more interesting.
