Louis Marchant--artist of our generation. More like the most arrogant artist of our generation. The man looks like Michelago has carved him with his bare hands. Kissable soft lips. The perfect amount of five o'clock shadow stretched across his square jaw. Add in that delicious French accent and oh là là. And then there's his giant... Um, never mind, it's still connected to him. No amount of magnificence can take away the fact that he's the most arrogant man in the history of France--no, the world. He also happens to be my new boss.** Previously released as Love in Colour **
"Austrian artist Egon Schiele comes to life in a narrative that defies convention, history, and identity. A self-professed genius and student of August Klimt, Scott's Schiele repeatedly challenges the boundaries of early twentieth-century Europe. Thrown in jail on charges of immorality, Schiele's Mephistophelean reputation only grows in stature until at the age of twenty-eight, the artist dies in the Great Flu Pandemic. Told from a crosscurrent of voices, viewpoints and times."--page 4 of cover.
A comprehensive reinterpretation of the pioneering and media-savvy artist The modern artist strives to be independent of the public's taste—and yet depends on the public for a living. Petra Chu argues that the French Realist Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) understood this dilemma perhaps better than any painter before him. In The Most Arrogant Man in France, Chu tells the fascinating story of how, in the initial age of mass media and popular high art, this important artist managed to achieve an unprecedented measure of artistic and financial independence by promoting his work and himself through the popular press. The Courbet who emerges in Chu's account is a sophisticated artist and entrepreneur who understood that the modern artist must sell—and not only make—his art. Responding to this reality, Courbet found new ways to "package," exhibit, and publicize his work and himself. Chu shows that Courbet was one of the first artists to recognize and take advantage of the publicity potential of newspapers, using them to create acceptance of his work and to spread an image of himself as a radical outsider. Courbet introduced the independent show by displaying his art in popular venues outside the Salon, and he courted new audiences, including women. And for a time Courbet succeeded, achieving a rare freedom for a nineteenth-century French artist. If his strategy eventually backfired and he was forced into exile, his pioneering vision of the artist's career in the modern world nevertheless makes him an intriguing forerunner to all later media-savvy artists.
This book offers a clear and alternative route to releasing one's creativity, that is, by embracing absurdity, rejecting the practical approach and refusing didactic platitudes. Feel like an artist the artist's way by Francis Rubbra is a collection of over 1001 hard-hitting and thought-provoking, often amusing, never-published-before, doses of original raw satirical art aphorism sourced from the art school discourse.

Picasso said that the enemy of art was good sense, well this book is a companion and a safe house for artists of all shapes and sizes, the mad ones, the thin ones and the extremely annoying ones, they are all invited. An inspirational quotes book with surrealist undertones that explores the nuances of a life lived at arts behest. Ever wondered where to learn the art school secrets?

Essential reading for artists, Feel Like an Artist the artist's way also over-flows with insightful pearls of sound practical art advice and humorous slights at the artist's expense. A serious book, its deliberations cut through the often-unpassable sludge of art academia. A book that gives you the feeling it's trying to tell you something and which will leave the reader feeling uplifted and inspired and certainly not indifferent.
