Art as Therapy Description
Review
A captivating, uncomplicated read that challenges how artists, dealers, and particularly, art museums do business, and anyone who cares about art should get a copy. (
The Denver Post)
When I read through
Art as Therapy, paintings that I had long admired suddenly became new when seen through the filter of self awareness and exploration. Really a gem of a book. (
Goop)
Bountiful food for thought here, elegantly phrased and finely illustrated. (
The Seattle Times)
A profoundly refreshing and heterodox approach to art. . .
Art as Therapy upend[s] the art world's self-referential culture [and] boldly positions art at the center of our daily lives. (
Publishers Weekly)
