La mirada inquieta

Eugenia Tenenbaum revives for us in this book historical periods from Antiquity to the 20th century, with the aim of enjoying the works of art that came to light in those times. Thanks to her close voice, we will reconcile ourselves with the immense pleasure that art offers us with no other requirement than our desire. Throughout the journey, however, we will be forced to look again and again to find something new. Because questioning what we know is the only way to better understand who we are, and to make art something for everyone. The way we understand medieval Islamic art affects the way we react to current migration conflicts. Our disinterest in the works of Hilma af Klint, Maria Blanchard or Lee Krasner affects the way we treat our colleagues at work, our mothers, our sisters, our partners. That is the importance of the restless look, to see where others do not see, where injustice disguises itself as knowledge.
