Description
Whimsically subtitled: Masterpieces, Messes (and What the Neighbors Thought), this delightful book delves into the fascinating, little known aspects of the lives of famous artists. Discover which of the great masters conducted secret autopsies, which artist lived over three times longer than the expected life span of her day, and which artist made it his goal to "shock the world every twenty-four hours". With its lively, rollicking text and comical portraits, this volume captivates like no other. Please note that one artist is mentioned as being homosexual, but the topic is not elaborated upon. 96 pgs, pb ~ Rachel
Publisher's Description of Lives of the Artists: Masterpieces, Messes (and What the Neighbors Thought)
Most people can name some famous artists and recognize their best-known works. But what's behind all that painting, drawing, and sculpting? What was Leonardo da Vinci's snack of choice while he painted Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile? Why did Georgia O'Keeffe find bones so appealing? Who called Diego Rivera "Frog-Face"? And what is it about artists that makes both their work and their lives so fascinating—to themselves, to their curious neighbors, and to all of us? This book presents the humor and the tragedy in twenty artists' lives as no biography has done before.
