COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Makes you think submitted by Avliss on June 18, 2016, 7:33pm I think this text is less about analysing art, as I thought it would be in the beginning, and more about how we use art in our lives. How it becomes a tool, a crutch, a way of communicating the incommunicable.

All in all, I enjoyed the book. I didn't always understand what Smith was attempting to convey, but the parts that I did get were beautifully written and made me think.
