520 8  A hand-signed porcelain urinal. An abstract drip painting.
       A silent 700 hour performance. Art has changed since the 
       days of Giotto, Michelangelo, and even Picasso--and many 
       of us are perplexed. Do modern and contemporary artists 
       such as Marcel Duchamp, Jackson Pollock, and Marina 
       Abramovic represent civilization's highest achievements? 
       Or is something else afoot? In The Art of Looking, art 
       critic Lance Esplund demonstrates that works of modern and
       contemporary art are not as indecipherable as they seem to
       be. He reveals the threads that weave the art of the past 
       with that of the present, and shows us how to separate the
       genuine article from mere rags--not to mention the 
       emperor's new clothes.
