Description

Looks at the place of art in the modern world, moving beyond history, theory, and criticism to explore the true roots of the human love affair with art.

First Sentence

The arts have almost always enjoyed public honour - and perhaps have never been held in higher esteem than today: fine buildings are preserved for the nation and visited by millions; the greatest paintings are gathered in public galleries which are almost always crowded.
