WHAT ART DOES
Regular price
£14.99
A new book by Brian Eno and Bette A.
WHAT ART DOES examines the function of fictional worlds - such as pop songs, detective novels, soap operas, shoe tassels and the hidden language of haircuts - and suggests a new theory of art.
Why do we do it? How does it help us? And how does it hold us all together?
"In this book we want to present a different view of art and its function in our personal and social lives. We suggest that a lot of what humans do has an element of art in it - that we can find art not just in operas and paintings but in everything that has room for improvisation, variation and playfulness.” – Bette A.
‘Play is how children learn; art is how adults play.’ – Bette A.
