'The book is written in a way that encourages art appreciation with little snippets of the author’s life and experience as an artistic person infused in it.'
Appreciating art is good. I like that this book exults that.

Art is paintings, sculptures and things one can see. But to put them into words is quite a different and difficult thing to do. I applaude the author for doing that. This reviewer has caught my art strings. Thank you.

I have always been fascinated by the subject of art and its ability to convey deep emotions and perspectives. One question that has always intrigued me is why art, especially from famous artist, holds such immense value. "Negative Shape" seems like a book that could shed light on such questions by exploring the fundamentals of art and the power of negative space. I look forward to gaining new insights from it.

Good review! I am interested in reading this book as I am an artist of sorts and have been since I was a little girl. I paint all kinds of things with different media. This should be a great read for me.

This book viewd contexts of artistic concepts that offers a blended theory. Reflecting on the negative space to encompass a life experience through transitions. The approach combines a personal reflection of enlightening attributes. Which explains things of consciousness. Christine Archer "recognized how to use the negative space to evaluate what has happened from what's to come. "

The book's concept is interesting despite some initial confusion. I'm not familiar with the art world. This book is a guide to exploring and appreciating art from new and diverse perspectives. I'm not sure if I'm interested in this book. Thank you for an insightful review.
