The Art of Looking at Art
A readable guide to the art of looking at art. There’s an art to viewing art. A sizable portion of the population regards art with varying degrees of reverence, bewilderment, suspicion, contempt, and intimidation. Most people aren’t sure what to do when standing before a work of art, besides gaze at it for what they hope is an acceptable amount of time, and even those who visit galleries and museums regularly aren’t always as well versed as they wish they could be. This book will help remedy that situation and answer many of the most frequently asked questions pertaining to the matter of art in general: When was the first art made?

On saura qui a brisé le nez du Sphinx, quel crime a ordonné « Darling » Clémentine Churchill ou encore quel prestigieux musée d'art moderne n'avait assuré aucune de ses oeuvres. On découvrira la malédiction qui frappe une certaine toile de Rembrandt. On verra où mène le vandalisme stupide ou utopiste, visant Gauguin, Duchamp ou Twombly. Pourquoi d...
Bienvenue chez Séverine
« Il y a quelques années, j’ai quitté un métier qui ne me rendait pas heureuse et je suis devenue accueillante familiale pour personnes âgées. Cela consiste à vivre avec deux ou trois pensionnaires au sein de ma famille, dans ma propre maison. Il s’agit d’une alternative aux EHPAD encore méconnue. L’expression “accueillante familiale” le dit bien : dedans, il y a le mot “famille”, c’est-à-dire des sentiments, du réconfort, de la chaleur humaine, bien au-delà des simples services. J’exerce le plus beau métier du monde. Je n’aurais jamais cru pouvoir appeler “travail” des gestes quotidiens qui me sont si naturels. Bien sûr, je donne, mais je reçois telle...
