Why is there so much bad blood involved in the stories of artists
and their artworks? Immerse yourself in 18 infamous artistic
rivalries, dramatized with gripping moments of narrative, to
understand how the rivalries that art fans love to gossip about
serve a larger purpose in the way cultures approach the idea of art
and the artist. Why did Michelangelo loathe Raphael for decades
after the latter had died? How did Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse
balance their perpetual competition with a lifelong friendship?
What transgression pitted the notorious titans of the London
graffiti scene, Banksy and King Robbo, in a rivalry that ended with
a tragic and unforeseeable death? An investigative journey
transforms some of the "big names" of the art world into real
people-often grumpy, ornery, antagonistic, and flawed-and better
reveals how all of us respond to art.
