Think Like an Artist, Don't Act Like One

This book presents 75 ways to look at art and the life lessons you can learn from it. From the works of ancient Egypt and Greece to today's abstract and conceptual pieces, by way of Leonardo, Dürer and Rembrandt, Picasso, Warhol and Ai Wei Wei, art inspires us to take a fresh look at the fundamental questions we face.

These lessons includes questions about success, love, work, friendship and life and death. Think Like an Artist, Don't Act Like One is a lively introduction to art history as it resonates with your own daily life, and it acts as an exhortation to look at art in your personal way.
