The history of art for dogs. Borovsky A. D.

The history of art is an object that infremes the wide reader. Complex terminology, an abundance of dates and references can scare away even the most inquisitive and educated non -specialist. To overcome this fear and revive interest in complex, but unconditionally exciting things, a change of angle often helps. In his book, Alexander Borovsky resorts to just that, choosing an extremely original point of view for talking about art - offering to look at his centuries -old history through the eyes of dogs.

The tradition of conducting a narrative on behalf of the best friends of a person is not new, Mikhail Bulgakov and Sasha Black turned to this technique, but it seems to be especially relevant in modern art criticism. Free from the aesthetic criteria and templates imposed by fashion, dogs give us that experience of genuine, unbiased contemplation, which we are far from always able to survive in the museum or art gallery.

The book is designed by the famous artist Olga Tobreluts, whose name is known to everyone lover of contemporary art.
