life as a journalist are really okay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I wasn't trying to expose any national intelligence agency.\u003cbr\u003e The place I was trying to infiltrate was the art world, a world that seemed to be in a state of collective delusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I wanted to know why art was important, whether it was even a serious issue, whether the quiet time spent gazing at a rock-shaped smear of paint on a taut cloth—commonly called a \"painting\"—could really transform human existence.\u003cbr\u003e I was dying to know right away.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.11\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here are some things I've accomplished over the years:\u003cbr\u003e I was thrown out of the normal life I had been living and witnessed how messy 'pure' art could become. \u003cbr\u003eWe've caught up with the brush-crazy nerds, the color freaks, the \"eyes,\" the brains, and the artist's enthusiasts to find out what keeps them up at night.\u003cbr\u003e I bled on canvas, skin flayed on sculptures, and had a nearly naked stranger sit on my face in the name of art.\u003cbr\u003e I worked as a security guard at an art museum, guarding piles of dust, and I understood why the scientific community called art a \"biologically indispensable tool.\"\u003cbr\u003e People crazy about art consider paintings as part of their bodies and find beauty in places we never thought of.\u003cbr\u003e I got drunk because of them, I got courage, I got embarrassed, I got quiet, and I ended up becoming friends with them.\u003cbr\u003e In this process, I discovered a new form of human existence.\u003cbr\u003e A life where seeing with your eyes is an adventure.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.27\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A gallery that sells a lot of art is not necessarily a 'good' gallery. \u003cbr\u003eIn Jack's group, the highest compliment given to the gallery was the word \"pure.\"\u003cbr\u003e Pure galleries treat money like diarrhea.\u003cbr\u003e 'It's a harsh reality, but it's terrible.\u003cbr\u003e It's like saying, 'Even if you have diarrhea, don't show it.'\u003cbr\u003e Purists build their reputation and then gradually convert it into money, a process that may seem random at first glance, but is actually a highly calculated one.\u003cbr\u003e Gagosian (300 employees, 280 artists, 19 gallery spaces, estimated annual revenue of $1 billion) is hardly a gallery, let alone a pure one.\u003cbr\u003e One writer derided Gagosian as a \"bank.\"\u003cbr\u003e To be a purist, you have to exhibit works that are on the fringes, like a pile of Dan Bo's home appliances.\u003cbr\u003e 'Colorful paintings' were another word for 'easy money', and there were even people who spit out words and despised such works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.70~71\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here's the bad news. \u003cbr\u003eFirst, being a woman doesn't help.\u003cbr\u003e One collector Jack knew wouldn't buy any work by female artists because he thought they were \"all going to be mothers soon.\"\u003cbr\u003e Second, the big picture is risky.\u003cbr\u003e Jack revealed an open secret in the industry.\u003cbr\u003e “The elevators in Manhattan apartment complexes are the size of the palm of your hand.\u003cbr\u003e Works that don't fit in there won't sell.\u003cbr\u003e I wonder how you can decorate a living room with such a small painting, but anyway, that's it.\" Third, be wary of people in the art world.\u003cbr\u003e “All the weird dynamics between humans are magnified when they enter the art world,” Jack said, pouring everyone a glass of red wine.\u003cbr\u003e “There are a lot of people who are on the verge of alcoholism and a lot of people who are mentally unsound, and those two groups meet and drink all night long.\u003cbr\u003e It's a disturbing combination.\"\u003cbr\u003e --- p.97\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHow difficult it must have been for Jack to be with me. He lifted his shirt to reveal the rash that covered his abdomen so fiercely.\u003cbr\u003e It was shingles.\u003cbr\u003e He said, pointing to his stomach.\u003cbr\u003e “It’s all your fault.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After a few weeks, things started to get funny.\u003cbr\u003e no.\u003cbr\u003e It's wrong to say it's funny.\u003cbr\u003e I guess it would be right to say that I felt sad.\u003cbr\u003e From the moment I first started hanging out with people in the New York art world, I was struck by their delusions of grandeur.\u003cbr\u003e They constantly checked their backs, were concerned about other people's opinions, and went off the record even when they were talking about something ordinary and normal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But after spending a few months at 315, I too became fearful.\u003cbr\u003e I was afraid that I would get the context wrong, wear the wrong clothes, or like the wrong piece of art.\u003cbr\u003e I couldn't even form my own opinion until I asked someone who knew better. \u003cbr\u003e--- p.140~141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Writer Gina Malek, whom I met at her home studio in the Bronx, offered similar advice.\u003cbr\u003e “Just go to the piece and think about five things it shows you.” The five things here are not the overall theme or core of the piece.\u003cbr\u003e This piece explores masculinity in the post-internet era, but it doesn't have to be some grand insight.\u003cbr\u003e Just five things that caught your eye or that you felt a distinct emotion.\u003cbr\u003e “That red is very cold, or very warm… that shape completely dominates the canvas… I like the way the vibrant paint fades there,” he said, touching on all the formal elements.\u003cbr\u003e “It’s all important and has purpose,” I thought of Julie wrestling with the blue of the sky.\u003cbr\u003e “Painting was a matter of endless choices.”\u003cbr\u003e --- p.167\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHulbert, a visual neuroscientist, discussed color constancy by placing two paintings of Rouen Cathedral by Claude Monet side by side that day.\u003cbr\u003e Monet painted Rouen Cathedral over thirty times, painting it at different times of day to study how the color of the stone on the building's surface—let's call it a dull beige—changes with the light.\u003cbr\u003e He painted the cathedral at dawn, dusk, and noon.\u003cbr\u003e I painted on clear days and cloudy days.\u003cbr\u003e In the dawn painting, the cathedral's stone is a deep blue.\u003cbr\u003e In the sunset painting, the color is vivid poppy.\u003cbr\u003e According to Hulbert, this expression of color cannot be explained by artistry alone.\u003cbr\u003e This means that some people, including artists, have the ability to transcend the brain's color constancy mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e Rebecca said:\u003cbr\u003e “Monet saw all these different shades and brightnesses with his own eyes. \u003cbr\u003e“Other people will probably only see the surface of the cathedral.”\u003cbr\u003e --- p.328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Archaeological research shows that early humans went to great lengths to obtain the colors they wanted.\u003cbr\u003e 300,000 years ago, Paleolithic Africans traveled hundreds of kilometers across valleys teeming with deadly threats like snakes, lions, leopards, and hyenas to obtain the purple pigment pyroptic, even though pigments like yellow ochre and black manganese were readily available locally.\u003cbr\u003e Why did you do that? Because the color was pretty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Humans have committed poisoning, grave robbery, and murder because of their desire for color.\u003cbr\u003e Ancient Romans used to have prisoners mine cinnabar (mercuric sulfide) to get the fiery red color of freshly slaughtered meat, a substance so toxic that digging it up was practically a death sentence.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.334\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe human brain has evolved as an engine that compresses reality into tiny droplets.\u003cbr\u003e We had to conserve our mental energy to detect predators that were poised to emerge from the bushes and devour us.\u003cbr\u003e But what happened when we evolved beyond being prey? I think our brains needed to transform from garbage compactors into microscopes.\u003cbr\u003e It was in that very process that art would have emerged.\u003cbr\u003e Art is a means of counteracting our instincts to cut off the trunk and branches from reality, and thereby allowing us to perceive more, understand more, and empathize more.\u003cbr\u003e In short, art is a way to experience more.\u003cbr\u003e If our lives are the sum total of our individual experiences, art, by not compressing those experiences, literally allows us to live a larger life in the same amount of time. \u003cbr\u003eArt is both a practice of savoring life and a practice of creating a life worth savoring.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.374~375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For example, when Van Gogh painted his famous [Sunflowers], he used yellow paint made from lead chromate, which was the latest pigment at the time, but it was only much later discovered that this pigment was easily discolored.\u003cbr\u003e So the petals, which were initially bright yellow, turned brown like a real flower.\u003cbr\u003e In the 1960s, Frank Stella created geometric abstract paintings featuring striking fluorescent stripes.\u003cbr\u003e The bright orange he used, the yellow like tape marking the off-limits area, is already fading.\u003cbr\u003e According to one conservator, if left unrestored, the work would turn into a \"milky ruin.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It's a shame.\u003cbr\u003e But it's also a wonderful thing.\u003cbr\u003e This is why we must trust our own eyes.\u003cbr\u003e Works of art change. \u003cbr\u003eIt gets damaged, rots, and falls apart.\u003cbr\u003e In a way, the writing on the wall is an outdated explanation that cannot reflect such changes.\u003cbr\u003e So, you now know that the best way to appreciate a work of art is to encounter it right now, at this very moment, in this very light, on this very day, at this very hour, on

spectators, and artists… Memoirs of passionate madmen\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [New York Times] Bianca Bosker, author of the bestselling book Cork Dork, which delved into the dark underbelly of America's premier wine industry, returns with her new book, Get the Picture. \u003cbr\u003eThe author, who is actively working as a cultural journalist, guides readers into the secret and mad world of the 'New York art world', the 'contemporary art world', and various artists, which have been shrouded in mystery from the general public.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One day, the author recalls a forgotten watercolor painting by his grandmother from his childhood, and is seized by a pure artistic desire to awaken his dulled senses and regain new emotions.\u003cbr\u003e This desire goes beyond simple curiosity and develops into a crazed desire to understand modern art, which is difficult to grasp even at a glance.\u003cbr\u003e She finally decides to step into this impregnable 'pure art world' on her own two feet (although industry insiders unanimously tell her to \"get out\").\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a vivid exploration of the new world of \"high art,\" a beautiful and noble, yet at the same time ambiguous, complex, and often bizarre and even comical one.\u003cbr\u003e It is also a memoir of the author (or the general public, a passerby, or a single viewer) who has worked tirelessly for years to open the eyes of the viewer to modern art that makes them wonder, \"Is this art too?\"\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, it is also a self-reflective essay that persistently searches for beauty hidden deep within and one's own aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“Why is this ugly and that beautiful?”\u003cbr\u003e A small, revolutionary exploration journal for those who think \"art is difficult.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author begins writing this unique undercover account while barely managing to secure a low-level job at a small gallery in Brooklyn. \u003cbr\u003eHe stretches his canvas until his fingers are blistered, paints every wall in the gallery over and over again, and struggles to sell his paintings at any cost during the art fair in Miami Beach.\u003cbr\u003e He's not afraid to join A-list parties filled with billionaire collectors, or to put his face against the buttocks of a nearly naked performance artist to understand abstraction.\u003cbr\u003e And finally, I become a security guard at the Guggenheim Museum, known as the mecca of art, and I get to gaze at a single work of art in a quiet vacuum.\u003cbr\u003e Through all these days, despite the petty contempt and cold judgments from so-called industry insiders, she bravely moves forward to find answers to her questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInstead of relying on old definitions of art or aesthetic theories, \"There's a Spy in the Art Gallery\" transparently describes the art world as a mess of money, power, class, desire, vanity, and gossip.\u003cbr\u003e But that point doesn't make the book cynical.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, it clearly shows the vitality of art through the lives of artists who fiercely create and survive even in isolated leagues, and the audience who burst into tears before their eyes at the work.\u003cbr\u003e And finally, the author discovers his own way of life, which extends beyond the mechanistic workings of the art world.\u003cbr\u003e She, who had never really understood a single painting, began to develop a 'real sense' of looking at art as she spent hours moving frames, hanging lights, priming canvases, and helping emerging artists with their work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“A guide for everyone, from modern art lovers to skeptics.” _Patrick Bringley\u003cbr\u003e “Art is not for the few, but for all who see it.” _Lee So-young, Art Messenger\u003cbr\u003e “I’ve never seen a more raw (in a positive sense) art world story.” _YouTube “Grandma Art”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book seems to be telling its readers:\u003cbr\u003e “Art exists only in the way you ‘see’ it.\u003cbr\u003e “If you find your own perspective, you can experience life again.” This message comes from the author’s belief that art is not just for a few experts or a select few geniuses, but that we can all connect with art as subjects of the senses. \u003cbr\u003e\"There's a Spies in the Art Museum\" will be a delightful introduction for those who have found modern art difficult, and for those who already love art, it will be a book that presents a new lens of perspective.\u003cbr\u003e To regain my lost senses and rediscover my true self.\u003cbr\u003e It is time for us to relearn how to 'see' colors, objects, works of art, art, and life.
