Summary:
"Most artists have decades to hone their craft, to win over the critics and forge their reputation, but that's not the case for the artists in this book. Vincent van Gogh and Jean-Michel Basquiat have been mythologized, with their early deaths playing a key role in their posthumous fame. Others, such as Aubrey Beardsley and Noah Davis, were driven to create knowing their time was limited. For some, premature death, compounded by gender and racial injustice, meant being left out of the history books--as was the case with Amrita Sher-Gil, Charlotte Salomon and Pauline Boty. And, as Caravaggio and Vermeer's stories show us, it can take centuries for forgotten artists to be given the recognition they truly deserve"-- adapted from inside front cover.
