Sinopsis

El arte de la oscuridad es un original libro basado en más de 200 obras de arte cuidadosamente seleccionadas e inspiradas en lo mórbido, lo melancólico y lo macabro.

Los sugerentes capítulos del libro presentan una selección de obras de arte que expresan ansiedades y aversiones, tensiones y temores que trascienden el tiempo que, por siempre, han acechado nuestras mentes y, aunque resulten difíciles de afrontar, forman parte de la condición humana. S. Elizabeth nos habla sobre las influencias e inspiraciones de los artistas representados en el libro para preguntarnos, ¿podemos ganar algo al enfrentarnos a nuestros demonios? ¿Por qué nos atrae tanto el miedo y lo grotesco? ¿Y qué nos dice esto sobre la mente humana? Conectemos con nuestras sombras y disfrutemos de estas obras de arte, que nos van a ayudar a reconciliarnos con nuestro lado oscuro.
