The Magic of Modern Art: How To Love Modern and Contemporary Art
June 17, 2022 – Summer is now in full tilt and people are relaxing at the beach, by the pool or en-route to their vacation destination. Those looking for a unique reading experience need look no further than to artist and author Robyn Jamison’s new book, ‘The Magic of Modern Art—How To Love Modern and Contemporary Art’. There is a lot to take in about experiencing and fully appreciating all it has to offer.
Her latest work is available from, https://magicofmodernart.com. Jamison introduces a fresh, accessible approach to modern and contemporary art with a tried-and-true process for transforming museum and gallery visits into worthwhile and enriching experiences.
Your Five-Year-Old Could Not Do That
Jamison was stunned the first time she heard a museum visitor exclaim, my five-year-old could do that! (She was looking at a work by Joan Miro). “I had just spent five years of intensive work developing my talent and skills, and I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that no five-year-old could produce the refinement and compositional brilliance of such a deceptively simple masterpiece.”
Jamison decided that ‘museum-goers’ were not seeing the art the same way she did and wondered what prevented them from recognizing how great the art was. She decided those frustrated art viewers had firmly held beliefs about what art should be about and how it should look. There was no question that the art they were seeing failed to meet those criteria.
Natural Affinity for Modern Art – We All Have It
Jamison asserts that all human beings have an innate, natural affinity for art, including modern and contemporary. Her premise is that reawakening this affinity has more to do with clearing out what’s in the way than it does with accumulating information. Jamison systematically dismantles over 30 preconceived notions that stand between museum goers and this natural affinity for all art. So this summer, make it a point to read and enjoy ‘The Magic of Modern Art—How To Love Modern and Contemporary Art’.
