it was amazing

I've adorned this book with at least 80 sticky notes, each marking a page where the artwork or the underlying message deeply resonates with me. Each page offers a brief yet profound insight into the work of various artists, presented in an artistic prose brimming with vivid descriptions. For those seeking to delve deeper into the realm of art, I recommend brushing up on modern art theory before delving into this book. It provides a colorful journey through the pages, with succinct summaries that allow for completion in just a few days. However, it can be challenging to discern which artists to explore further without a deeper understanding of their intentions, as they are often not explicitly revealed. Remember, the initial impression may not always be the most enduring one.
