Can we grasp the arts in the plurality of their manifestations, their social and historical contexts, and their functions? This is the challenge of Jean-Marie Schaeffer, who offers a series of spotlights on particularly revealing points in the life of the arts. Works of art are far from all "pleasant," whether in their content or their form. Many (and among the greatest) are cognitively and emotionally dissonant for those who are exposed to them.
Yet, in all cases, experiencing it has a liberating and invigorating, as well as calming, effect on our sensitivity, our intellect, and our emotions. This book does not presuppose any historical or technical knowledge, simply curiosity. Its aim is to encourage us not to remain confined to what we already know about the arts and to venture into new territories.
