Especially when they're young, and even more especially if they want to become one of those modern alchemists known as visual artists. Well, here it is: page for impeccably crafted page, the best, most thoughtful and lucid primer available for any young (or old) would-be maker of art. -- Kurt Andersen, novelist ( Heyday, Turn of the Century) and public radio host ( Studio 360) Kit White gives us a 'manual' in every sense of the word, a lifetime of art-making condensed into 101 cogent maxims that fit in the hand of the aspiring artist. -- Wendy Steiner , author of The Real Real Thing: The Model in the Mirror of Art There is a great myth that somehow rules constrain creativity. With grace and wit, Kit White's new book dismantles this received idea, and many others along the way.
