Introduction · · · · · ·
The art world has changed dramatically over the past 100 years. Viewers are left wondering, are these works provocative? Are the artists just telling inside jokes?

In this book, Lance Esplund, a senior American art critic, combines his many years of experience in art appreciation to carefully explain the grammatical logic contained in art. The book begins with an analysis of the basic elements of art, and then deeply interprets ten modern and contemporary art works, leading readers to watch and think, so as to form their own aesthetic judgment and be able to examine art in the way artists view art.
