Adrian David, author of this book, believes that this is because we approach art with obsolete ideas. He argues that notions like ‘beauty’ and ‘imagination’ are outdated and put us on the wrong track when we come face to face with the work of El Greco, Goya, Manet, Schiele, Bacon or Banksy. David uses numerous examples to reflect on art and, by extension, on what it is to be human. The result is an accessible, trenchant and richly illustrated book, written by a passionate connoisseur and sincere art lover. Adrian David is an art collector who has collaborated on countless high-profile international exhibitions. He has written several books on modern art, including Homo Arte Omnibus (2010) and Shit Shock Art – Art Criticism for Connoisseurs, which was published in 2018 in four languages and an edition of ten thousand.<\/p>\n
