Taking readers from ancient Babylon to contemporary Pyongyang, the eminent curator Caroline Campbell explains art's power to illuminate our lives, and inspires us to benefit from its transformative and regenerative power.Unlike the majority of art history, this book is about much more than the cult of personality.

The emotions and societies she evokes are recognisable today, showing how great art resonates powerfully by transcending the boundaries of time.
