The New York Times Bestseller "I wish I had read these rules forty
years ago and carried them around like a bible. By chance or design
I've followed most of them at some point but it took me a lifetime
as an artist to find what worked. They are the generous, loving,
enthusiastic, bullshit-free advice of a master communicator, just
reading them makes me want to charge back into the studio" -
Grayson Perry "Being an artist is a lonely pursuit - twenty-four
hours a day, seven days a week, for the rest of your life. Most of
the time it hurts. This book will help the pain" - Tracey Emin One
of Elizabeth Gilbert's 2020 Quarantine Book Recommendations "Joy is
palpable in these pages. We need such thinking right now" - Apollo
Magazine As the witty and passionate chief art critic for New York
magazine, Jerry Saltz is often approached by artists, both amateur
and professional, asking him for advice: How do I get started? How

need graduate school - Recognize convention, and resist constraint
