"Great art has terrible manners!" From the first lines of this dramatic narrative it becomes obvious: the famous historian and popularizer of science Simon Schama does not intend to try on the role of an authoritative museum guide, leisurely leading from masterpiece to masterpiece a trusting group of eager to touch the beautiful. Therefore, do not hope for an easy walk through the museum halls - instead, the eccentric guide, without a second's hesitation on the threshold, will simply push you through the doors of the workshop, where at this very moment one of the most important works of art is being born. Perhaps the prospect of witnessing it and coming face to face with its creator does not alarm you in advance? Well, the author will try to remedy that. Strongly arguing against those who consider stories of fumbling geniuses and the agony of the act of creation to be romantic fairy tales, Simon Schama fearlessly discusses the power that cannot be resisted, the irresistible thirst, the crushing passion - the transformative power of art, in the face of which both the viewer and the creator are powerless.
