About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Artists have learnt to pay attention. The rest of us spend most of our time on auto-pilot, rushing from place to place, our overfamiliarity blinding us to the marvellous, life-affirming phenomena of our world. But that doesn't have to be the case.

In his typical engaging style, Will Gompertz takes us into the minds of artists - from contemporary stars to old masters, the well-known to the lesser-so, and from around the world - to show us how to look and experience the world with their heightened awareness.

In See What You're Missing, we learn, for example, how Hasegawa Tohaku can help us to see beauty, how David Hockney helps us to see colour and how Frida Kahlo can help us see pain. In doing so we come to know the exhilarating feeling of being truly alive.
