Artist to Artist: Inspiration and Advice from Artists Past & Present

Artist to Artist: Inspiration and Advice from Artists Past and Present brings together more than 1000 quotations from artists on 57 subjects ranging from creativity to solitude, technique to talent.

The editor has taken care to arrange the quotations to create a sort of ongoing dialogue among the 207 artists represented. Artists and art lovers will find a wealth of delightful, witty, wise, thought-provoking, and inspiring words from Old Masters like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Titian; Impressionists such as Monet, Degas, Renoir, Matisse, and van Gogh; and modern masters from Pablo Picasso and Henry Moore to Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg.

The book is arranged alphabetically by subject, and an index helps readers find quotes by individual artists. Enhancing the visual appeal are 18 black-and-white art works by some of the artists quoted, paired with apt quotations ranging from solemn to irreverent.
