Otra historia del arte

Anyone who has visited a museum or flipped through a book on art will have heard or read bombastic and categorical phrases such as "We are in front of the great masterpiece of the 20th century", "This artist is a genius" or "That painting changed the world". This conception of artistic creation -based on the acceptance of a pre-established canon that privileges specific styles and exalts specific firms-, far from favoring learning and making art more accessible, has restricted the pleasure of the general public and has conditioned their taste. In this book, the art historian Miguel Ángel Cajigal Vera -known as El Barroquista in his informative work- proposes a new way of approaching this discipline and invites us to enjoy art without prejudice and with total freedom.
