Why Art?
- Unit price
- / per
The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!
The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.
Exploring art's impact with humor and critique.
If you're the type that enjoys peeling back layers to get at the heart of big, nebulous concepts like "art," then "Why Art?" is right up your alley. Eleanor Davis doesn't just ask the question; she invites you on a whimsical yet profound journey through the potential of artistic expression. You'll find the mix of insightful commentary wrapped in Davis's engaging graphics both enlightening and entertaining, much in the way a conversation with a smart friend can leave you thinking long after it has ended.
