Think Like an Artist Don't Act Like One
For millennia, artists have been trying to answer questions about success, love, work, friendship, life and death. Impossible questions to which endless answers have been found. 'Think Like an Artist, Don't Act Like One' does not want to show intellectual muscles, but simply draws 75 funny, serious and - occasionally - uplifting life lessons from art history.
'There is no leaflet and no guarantee for art. Koos shows why'
- Taco Dibbits, director Rijksmuseum
This book is about Leonardo da Vinci who teaches curiosity, Rembrandt about honesty. About Vermeer helping us appreciate the everyday, Monet the now. About Picasso who teaches us to lie the truth and Nauman who wonders what that truth actually is. A humble offering for anyone who wants to learn to live with art, from 10 to 110 years old.
Written by Koos de Wilt with editing by Winnie Moltmaker.
The book was publihed in 2017 at BIS Publishers.
