Pictures at an Exhibition is the new book by non-fiction master Alexander Genis (Dovlatov and Environs, The Scribe's Kama Sutra, Return Address), an intricate and exciting journey for the eye and mind. "Art," the author admits, "fills the same hole in the soul that religion fills. They don't even argue and demand the same. Masterpieces, like the relics of saints, change those who believe in them. And the more we know about a painting, the more we want to know about ourselves: how we will feel in its presence. Painting is a transformer of the everyday, and by sharing space with it, we enter a force field that transforms life into art."
