Drawing Us in: How We Experience Visual Art: Beacon Anthology
Hilton Alsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2001
For the contributors to Drawing Us In, visual art makes us see what we haven't seen before; it surprises, transforms, and comforts us. Dorothy Allison explains how a painting in a Baptist church taught her as a child that art connects people from disparate backgrounds. Alfred Kazin reflects on his wanderings around New York's museums as a teenager. Mary Gordon finds that Bonnard's still lifes put in perspective her mother's struggle with illness and aging.
For anyone who has felt moved by the visual, this collection offers a delightful range of views on how and why art matters in our psychic, social, and political lives.

Recenzii
A hearty rejuvenation of the experience of visual art in our lives. -DoubleTake
"What matters is this: that, despite being dissected and loved, the particular artwork under review retains its mystery while further deepening the mystery we call the collective experience of living." -Hilton Als, from the Foreword
"A delight to read. . . . It is the kind of book that lingers with the reader because the essayists are so easy to identify with and because they summarize timeless art-related concerns. As has been said of many films, 'I laughed, I cried.'" -Susan Olcott, Library Journal
