A New Way of Seeing

What makes masterpieces truly unforgettable?

The book A New Way of Seeing by Kelly Grovier offers a fresh and deeply engaging look at the most famous artworks of all time. Instead of traditional interpretations, the author focuses on small details—flashes of peculiarity—that are often overlooked, yet carry the essence of a piece’s greatness and lasting impact.

From the Terracotta Army to The Birth of Venus, Guernica, and Frida Kahlo, Grovier identifies a key moment in each work that teaches us to see differently. Through comparative examples and cultural analysis, she reveals why some artworks continue to move and inspire us centuries later. A New Way of Seeing is a visually captivating and intellectually provocative publication that compels readers to rediscover the power of visual art.
