Book Hero thinking about your next read

An essay about the unique, useful and necessary contribution artists make to society.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Artists do a number of things that are very useful. In this deceptively modest book, some of these things are described. Seminal works by artists Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Richard Serra, Christo & Jean-Claude, Donald Judd, and On Kawara are used to illustrate (in words only) these points.

This book is highly recommended for parents of children thinking of embarking on a career in the arts, for policymakers confused about the function of art in society, and for artists suffering a bout of self-doubt.

By the author of Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers.
