Book summary: A perfect blossom and a sunset replete with color, Bob Marley and Marilyn Monroe, the middle of the wilderness or of an urban festival, your favorite song, your favorite shoes: people continue to find beauty everywhere, even as it is also entwined with many social problems and hierarchies. It is difficult, and maybe unnecessary, to figure out what it is. But Crispin Sartwell argues in this quick immersion that classic reflections from around the world about the nature of beauty can enhance and deepen our pleasures, opening us to the world and one another.

Art has the power to move us, to spark an unexplainable connection, or to leave us cold. We might focus on small details or take in the entire piece of art, searching for something familiar. This book explores how we see art, how our experiences shape our perceptions, and why some works resonate deeply while others do not.
