Simply a revelation...By Peter SwannThis is a remarkable book which sets out to explain the entire world of art in a clear and accessible way; sweeping aside centuries of obfuscation and confusion. The countless -isms -ologies fall into place as Hugh Moss raises our perspective from the individual elements of creativity; artist; artwork; viewer; critic; dealer; academic; etc and integrates the whole lot into a seamless process which makes sense of all art in all places at all times. As an art lover; practitioner and mature student I was struggling to understand the art world; frustrated with "artspeak" and all the conflicitng explanations and often complete nonsense written about (particularly contemporary) art. Im still digesting the revelatory concepts in this book on my second reading and feel a sense of relief and gratitude to Mr. Moss for clearing the fog. No doubt it will upset a lot of people and be dismissed by many; but this has the potential to transform our western understanding of art. Whatever your situation in relation to art; read this book (it is also beautifully illustrated!). Incidentally; I have no connection whatever with the author or ; did not buy the book from and have never written a review on before.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An Enlightening book in every aspect.By CustomerIn this thought-provoking book; Hugh Moss proposes a new framework to understand art; ldquo;which can be equally applied to any art from any culture at any timerdquo; (This framework is not totally new; as Moss had written about it back in 1986 in his brilliant introductory essay to the catalogue ldquo;Arts from the Scholarrsquo;s Studiordquo;).According to Moss; artrsquo;s role is to expand the frontier of consciousness and that can only be achieved if the intellect relinquishes authority.Thus; we need to befuddle the intellect to encourage it to seek a higher perspective; for consciousness can only evolve through the resolution of paradox. As such; art is the mother of all koans.In just 184 pages; Hugh Moss skillfully defends his Universal Art theory; manages to clarify bewildering concepts such as consciousness; Enlightnment and the Absolute; shares his own spiritual journey towards Enlightenment; teaches about Chinese painting and calligraphy and even offer some advice on purchasing art and visiting an art fair.This book is a must not only for art-lovers; but for anyone looking to expand his own consciousness.An Enlightening book in every aspect.
