    Summary: 
    "A visit to a museum can be overwhelming, exhausting, and unrewarding. Lincoln Perry wants to change that. In fifteen essays--each framed around a specific theme--he provides new ways of seeing and appreciating art. Perry is a disarmingly charming tour guide who makes art approachable and accessible. Along the way, he weaves in personal stories, from his own artistic journey as a painter and sculptor to the days when he could still spend nights in his beaten-up VW Bus in the Louvre's parking lot. Drawing heavily on examples from the European tradition of art, Perry aims to overturn assumptions and ask readers to re-think artistic prejudices while rebuilding new preferences."-- Provided by publisher.
