"Inspiration leaps off the pages from Jerry Saltz's new book on creativity. . . . This book is for the artist or non-artist, for the person who gets plain English, for the person who understands that practical talk can coax out the mystical messages that lie underneath." —Steve Martin
Art has the power to change our lives. For many, becoming an artist is a lifelong dream. But how to make it happen? In How to Be an Artist, Jerry Saltz, one of the art world’s most celebrated and passionate voices, offers an indispensable handbook for creative people of all kinds.
From the first sparks of inspiration—and how to pursue them without giving in to self-doubt—Saltz offers invaluable insight into what really matters to emerging artists: originality, persistence, a balance between knowledge and intuition, and that most precious of qualities, self-belief. Brimming with rules, prompts, and practical tips, How to Be an Artist gives artists new ways to break through creative blocks, get the most from materials, navigate career challenges, and above all find joy in the work.
This useful audiobook will help artists of all kinds—painters, photographers, writers, performers—realize their dreams.

      So you want to be an artist? Or at least add some creativity to your life? Jerry Saltz knows how. The art critic for NEW YORK MAGAZINE delivers a series of 61 short statements brimming with insights and advice for anyone having trouble getting out of a rut. He offers practice exercises and useful tips such as "clear the studio." Listeners could experience this audiobook in one or two sessions, letting all the ideas wash over them, or try just a few tracks a day, giving each idea careful thought. It would be worth it, either way, to write a few "notes to self" and tape them to your desk. Believe in yourself! You can do it! J.E.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
