Great art needs no explanation to touch people. Some works of art leave observers bewildered, others allow them to 'see' from a different perspective. The exhibition 'Encounters' is about a universal experience of art.
The author Paul Vandenbroeck discussed the universal experience that art produces.
In his texts, Paul Vandenbroeck, has, as it were, produced his 'Magnum opus', the result of years of a dedicated interdisciplinary approach at the intersection of history of art, feminist-inspired psychoanalysis and cultural anthropology.
The reader is given an experience and insight into the most aesthetic and existential essence of art in this sumptuously illustrated 456-page transcultural and trans-historic work.
