First sentence: The arts have almost always enjoyed public honour - and perhaps have never been held in higher esteem than today: fine buildings are preserved for the nation and visited by millions; the greatest paintings are gathered in public galleries which are almost always crowded.
Description: Looks at the place of art in the modern world, moving beyond history, theory, and criticism to explore the true roots of the human love affair with art.
