In order to make sense of this new place, he threw himself into the Dutch museums. Soon, he found himself unearthing the strange, inspiring and sometimes terrifying stories of the artists who shaped one of the most luminous moments in the history of human creativity, the Dutch Golden Age.</p><p>As he explored the hidden world of the Dutch Masters (and one Mistress), Moser met a crowd of fascinating personalities: the stormy Rembrandt, the intimate Ter Borch, the mysterious Vermeer. Through their art, he got to know their country, too: from Pieter Saenredams translucent churches to Paulus Potters muddy barnyards, and from Pieter de Hoochs cozy hearths to Jacob van Ruisdaels tragic trees. Over the years, Moser found himself on increasingly intimate terms with these centuries-dead artists, and found that they, too, were struggling with the same questions he was. Why do we make art? What is art, anyway - and what is an artist? What does it mean to succeed as an artist, and what does it mean to fail?</p><p><em>The Upside-Down World</em> is an invitation to ask these questions, and to turn them on their heads: to look, and then to look again. It is a brilliant, colourful and learned book for anyone, whether lifelong scholar or curious tourist, who has ever felt the lure of the Dutch galleries. It shows us art, and artists, as we have never seen them before.</p>...1739896The Upside-Down World632771https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-upside-down-world/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/961798/a1853ac4-04e7-45c3-bbee-f7269c45de41.jpg?v=638337082122070000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781802060836_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9781802060836_<p>Twenty years ago, Benjamin Moser followed a love affair to an ancient Dutch town. In order to make sense of the place where he had ended up, Moser threw himself into the world of the painters of Dutch Golden Age, Rembrandt, Hals, and Vermeer among them, and found himself confronting the bigger questions those artists asked.</p><p>Why do we make art, and why do we need it? Who, and what, is an artist? How can art help us see ourselves and others? And in a world without religion, can art provide a substitute for God?</p><p>As he explored the Dutch museums, Moser met a crowd of fascinating personalities: the stormy Rembrandt, the intimate Ter Borch, the mysterious Vermeer. Now, in this colourful, brilliant and idiosyncratic book, he unveils the whole hidden world of the Dutch Masters (and one Mistress). <em>The Upside-Down World</em> is a fun and learned guide to one of the greatest epochs of human creativity: a book for anyone, whether lifelong scholar or curious tourist, who has ever felt the lure of the Dutch galleries.</p>...9781802060836_Penguin Books Ltdlibro_electonico_d92c977a-5c58-3826-a8af-b9ee5c162f5b_9781802060836;9781802060836_9781802060836Benjamin MoserInglésMéxico2023-10-26T00:00:00+00:002023-10-26T00:00:00+00:00Penguin Books Ltd
