Description
An absorbing and illuminating treasury of letters by over 50 artists giving insights into the thinking of master painters from Leonardo da Vinci, Edward Burne-Jones, and Auguste Rodin; to Michelangelo, Paul Gauguin and David Hockney. Themed chapters explore letters between friends and family, fellow artists, influential patrons; and span topics from arranging exhibitions to sharing news of seeing giraffes. The carefully chosen letters are illustrated in facsimile, with a type-set transcription alongside; some including illustrations and marginalia by the artist author. Poignant, entertaining, and eye-opening: discover musings on life, love, work, travel, money, creativity, and everything in between.
