A different kind of book
ART IS EVERYWHERE
How to Really Look at Things
There are wonders and beauties all around us, but do we really see them?
“The most visual approach to the classic question: what is art? An incredible book!” – M. Duchamp
Can you find art in the ordinary?
Wonders in the everyday?
Is it possible to discover something wonderful and special without necessarily visiting museums, monuments, or places that are different from where we habitually go?
The book combines science, hands-on practices used in art workshops, and clear and simple language to answer these questions.
And raise some others.
“A very accessible tool for art education” – B. Munari

A Different Kind of Book
Through ingenious collages and montages, this illustrated book aims to stimulate readers to observe the world as they have never seen it before.
This is a different kind of book, something between a tourist-guide, a cooking magazine and a children’s book: 112 pages, with the soul of a book and speed of a magazine, but without ads.
“Truly blurring the boundary between what is framed and what is not. Pretty amazing” – M. Duchamp
Featuring
