The Artist's Bible: Think like an artist. Art as a way of life.

By Mr Francis Rubbra

This is THE artist bible. Essential reading for the art interested, full of over 1000 insightful serious and humorous perspectives on art and what it is to be an artist. There are many practical art books but none that explores the nuances of art to the degree that this book does. Ever wondered where to learn art school secrets? The Artist's Bible is full of them, full of original, never-published-before, art maxims. A satirical and inspirational book where humour sits proudly side by side with serious art maxims. A refreshingly new take on books typically written in the self-help genre. A book that entertains without falling into a pit of sentimentality and cliche. Preambled with a delightful short story, written in the vernacular, about redemption through art. The author uses satire for serious ends as he rampages through the art school discourse making bold pronouncements on art along the way. How to think like an artist and art as a way of life are explored with hundreds of subtle observations. Essential reading for artists, the artist's bible over-flows with insightful pearls of sound practical art advice and humourous slights at the artist's expense. The book digs deeply into the ironies of a life lived at arts' behest exploring the full compass of each with subtle twists and turns of phrase. This book is a true gem, an inspirational book for inspired people. The book's title offers a clue as to its content but it is essentially a fun book albeit one with serious overtones and its deliberations cut through the often unpassable sludge of art academia. A gift book extraordinaire, the reader will be left feeling uplifted and inspired and certainly not indifferent.
