Cees Nooteboom recorre algunos museos buscando capturar en las obras de los grandes pintores aquello que alimenta nuestra alma con formas y colores: la belleza. En este libro el lector tiene el privilegio de intuir; gracias al diaacute;logo permanente que nuestro especial guiacute;a mantiene consigo mismo; el enigma que subyace en toda obra artiacute;stica. Nooteboom no es un historiador del arte ni pretende serlo. Eacute;l se deja llevar por la imaginacioacute;n; no ofrece respuestas sino que plantea interrogantes. A traveacute;s de los ojos del artista-escritor contemplamos; entre otras; las imaacute;genes alegoacute;ricas medievales; los estudios de la naturaleza de Leonardo da Vinci; los autorretratos de Aert de Gelder o de Rembrandt; los interiores de Vermeer; los paisajes de Bruegel; los rostros sin ojos de De Chirico; la pasioacute;n por la masa geomeacute;trica de Piero della Francesca o las soledades de Hopper. Y finalmente; sin apenas darnos cuenta; empezamos a ver los cuadros como si fueran personas.

It is a good book and this is the book that we use ...By Maria G.It is a good book and this is the book that we use in my Japanese painting class. With this book we connect and discuss Japanese painting and its philosophy.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Pretty horribleBy Richard W. NicholsonIf this is an exact copy then the original must have been in really bad shape. Nice cover the rest is very poor quality - the contents are a bad photocopy of a real book from the Kansas City library and looks like some one spent the afternoon xeroxing.The images of prints are poor to useless - bad copy machine black and white images - no greyscale.Even the text is somewhat fuzzy.
