f you are reading this, then very likely you too (Heart) Art! The term art

covers a wide range of media and subjects. Art can be painted on paper,

board, or ceramics; it can be sculpted, collaged, or printed. Within these pages

you will discover some of the masterpieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art as

well as lesser-known works. Many of them are displayed in the Museums galleries.

People who (Heart) art vary as much as the artwork itself. There are no restrictions

to appreciating art. You dont need to study art in school. You dont need to

attend lectures or watch documentaries and films. These things will enhance your

understanding of an individual artwork or of an artist or movement, but you know you

(Heart) art the moment you see a work that moves you. (And it is OK to not [Heart] a

work of art, even if everyone else seems to!)

This book is arranged by themes. The art was created at different times in history

and by people from around the globe, reflecting their diverse cultural and artistic

heritage.

I (HEART) Art

is a book you can come back to again and again, because a

piece of art can mean something different to you each time you look at it, depending

on your mood and what is going on around you.

Within these pages, we hope you find art that you (Heart)!
