Rebel Without A Palette: The arts algorithm. A lexicon of art paradoxes.

By Francis Rubbra and Mr Francis B Rubbra

'Rebel Without a Palette' is an allegory of a romantic's creative journey, a story dedicated to the visual art's unsung creative heroes, told the artist's way and written in vernacular magical realism. A story of art as a synonym for life, a book about how to think like an artist, a book that will help you to find your voice and be your best self.

Full of sound practical art advice and thought-provoking art aphorisms; perhaps, never before has so much been written about making art and being an artist. It is a handbook of imaginative thought; a must-read for all budding artists and art lovers, and a book that does wonderful things with poetry, inspiration and humour.It is a book for people who fall awake looking at beauty; a book for people who desperately want to dress up in fancy colourfulness and hurry along to meet our shared loneliness, a book for people who dream ocean-sized dreams, a book for people who want to find their dissenting voice, and a book for people who want to free space for new memories and learn a trick or two about sneaking out of art galleries!

'The hope invested in art is that one day, the need for rational thingies will be a thing of the past and that the conversation of life will be led by people who see and imagine thingies and not by those who believe only in the certainty of thingies.' Francis Rubbra

Preface.

'OK, hands up. Which madman wrote Rebel Without a Palette?'

'Me sir, but... it was Leonardo's fault, sir.'

'Who the heck is Leonardo?'

'Just a fella I knew, sir, just a fella who was passionate, sir.'

'You do know it's not healthy to think so much, don't you?'

'Yes, sir, that I have discovered. My therapist tells me that with time the rages will subside.'
