What drives an artist to create? And are there common traits that
successful artists possess? In The Making of an Artist, Kristin G.
Congdon draws on her years of studying and teaching art at all
levels - from universities to correctional settings - to identify
three traits that are regularly found in successful artists:
desire, courage and commitment. In this collection Congdon explores
each of those traits, as well as giving ethnographic case studies
of six visual artists from diverse backgrounds and locations whose
practices embody them. Marrying the work of biography, journalism,
sociology and psychology, the book opens up the often mysterious
process of making art, showing us how those characteristics play
into it, as well as how other factors, such as trauma, madness,
class and gender, affect the ways that people approach the creative
process. Powerfully insightful and fully accessible, The Making of
an Artist will be an invaluable resource for practicing artists,
those just setting out on artistic careers, and art teachers alike.
