And what did Agnes love? She loved an eggshell blue sky at sunrise, and she loved the cotton candy pink sunset. Agnes loved the whole world. She said, “If I paint the things I love, then my paintings will be about love. And you will feel love when you look at them.” She even painted a painting called \u003ci\u003eI Love the Whole World\u003c\/i\u003e—twice. But some days, Agnes did not love the whole world. Not everyone understood her art, or her, and she felt it all. Agnes painted solace in pale, barely-there, mercurial hues and painstakingly simple lines and squares.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn simple, poetic language, \u003ci\u003eHow to Love the Whole World\u003c\/i\u003e tells a story of an artist and answers the question, “How do we love the whole world?” We slow down, pay attention, seek beauty and truth, feel it all, maybe even joy.","brand":"ABRAMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42663901036580,"sku":"9781949480535","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781949480535.jpg?v=1778874304","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/how-to-love-the-whole-world","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
