Art is like cheese or wine – to understand it, you have to 'devour' it. If you've spent your whole life drinking only Crimean sweet wines and eating Poshekhonsky cheese, and then your friends bring you some aromatic blue cheese and a bottle of Spanish Ribera del Duero, you'll likely start spitting, saying, 'What disgusting delicacies are these!' It's the same with art – once you start seeing or listening to classical art, you'll become increasingly drawn to the avant-garde or contemporary.

The book 'Art for Boys. Organized' is an excellent introduction to the history of art, both foreign and domestic, and not limited to just one genre. It contains everything that is called art: sculpture and architecture, painting and music. You'll sample selected works from prehistory to the 20th century and whet your appetite for new volumes. The book is based on the popular podcast of the same name, but it's more than just a transcript of previously released episodes. In addition to the plain-language text, you'll find QR codes for films, TV series, music, additional materials, and illustrations to help you stay on top of the topic, as well as a wealth of interesting facts—perfect for quizzes, intellectual discussions, or art discussions with colleagues, friends, and even children. Each chapter is a mini-art investigation, allowing you to immerse yourself in the work or author, as if reading a detective story.
