Why read it?
1 author picked The Work of Art as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I'm an engineer, so the work of artists is mysterious to me. I've spoken at length to several and while there is overlap with my process, there are also remarkable differences. This book extends those conversations by providing in-depth interviews with an extraordinary variety of artists talking about how each created a signature piece. It shows examples of their work, from draft to publication. The book was enlightening and oftentimes quite moving.
