This book is one of Updike's three famous collections of art essays ("Glimpse of Light", "Unblinking Eyes" and "Three Points in the Wood"). It was first published in 2012 and contains a total of 15 art criticism essays. Through more than 20 years of exhibition viewing experience since the 1990s, the author leads readers infinitely closer to the works of art masters. From an "American perspective", the author comprehensively reviews Western master art works in the past two hundred years, from classical to modern, from Impressionism to Pop culture, and appreciates the works of more than ten artists including Monet, Degas, Miro, Vuillard, Beckmann, Magritte, and Lichtenstein. There is a separate commentary on the Clark Brothers, the great collectors, explaining the special relationship between art and humanities, that is, how art, as an accessory to civilized life, can become a spiritual gamble or an investment in the future. As a literary painter of the human soul, Updike tried to use his own philosophical concepts and aesthetics as the unlocking code of art to summon a hint, a poem, or even a devil hidden in the painting; he extended visual embrace to spiritual thinking, achieving a leap from "look" to "see". The book is accompanied by nearly 200 pictures of artworks.
