You Like Art Even If You Don't Know It,

Find out why art history features you. 

It is more than likely that you are one of those people who think that classical art is as beautiful as it is boring. As for contemporary art, we might as well not even talk about it. All of it seems to have been kidnapped by an elite you don’t identify with. 

But the truth is that the history of art has to do way more with your life and tribulations than you might think, and it answers many of the whys and wherefores of history, both past and present. Sometimes art is refined and exquisite, and sets out to follow New Year’s resolutions as much as we do; but some other times it explores new paths and blows up every rule we seem to know. Let’s take graffiti, for instance, did you know that they have existed since the time of the Egyptians?! 

Sara Rubayo is a well-known art promoter and educator. In her new essay You Love Art Even if you Don’t Know she challenges us with an exciting vision of the history of the art that we never knew about. In it, you might come to realise that despite not even knowing it yet, you do love art because its history is your history.
