Find Even More Joy in Appreciating Art, Guided by the Insights of an Award-Winning Artist

One of the greatest benefits of viewing art is that it challenges presumptions and opens our minds to new ideas. Likewise, this sequel to popular art appreciation book The Joy of Art delves even deeper to decode visual art, leading the reader to a greater understanding and perception. In entertaining and informative text by artist Carolyn Schlam, More Joy of Art discusses both historical and contemporary works of art in the context of the following characteristics:
  • Beauty
  • Authenticity
  • Originality
  • Modernity
  • Perspective
  • ...and the indefinable quality that makes each work of art unique and compelling.

More Joy of Art provides the reader with the framework to examine works of art from any period, style, medium, or genre. With a guided tour of many notable and acclaimed works--including those that defy expectations and categorization--Schlam encourages art enthusiasts to discover the value in every work as they view them through this new lens. With these revelations on historically acclaimed work in mind, Schlam presents remarkable works by living artists, allowing the reader to apply new skills to decipher and enjoy new works of art. Concluding with an examination of the phenomenon of taste and how the appreciation of art can be enhanced by the development of a more complex palate, readers can find more joy in art as they become wise connoisseurs.

With 150 color photographs and foundational insights from an artist-author, More Joy of Art is your essential tool kit to further a deeper love of art and to make a museum visit or browsing a gallery truly rewarding.
