Beskrivning

Artists have it tougher than ever. Not many people can live on their art alone. Yet they persist. Why? What are the driving forces? Here, 23 artists are portrayed in text and images. They talk about life and everyday work, the financial conditions. We get to see how ideas are born and art is created, how they think about their works and what they are inspired by.

Quoting from reviews:

It is rare to see such elaborate and responsive interviews with image creators. Read the book out of pure curiosity. But it can, and should, be used as a basis when future cultural policy is discussed.

The worker’s sheet

The selection is broad and has not been guided by any top list thinking. For those who want texts about art beyond expert opinions, the book is a sympathetic introduction.

Species perspective

Could be a commissioned work from the National Artists’ Organization (KRO), would fit them like a glove. I really appreciate how the artist is lifted down from his pedestal of mystery, to become a hard-working human being who needs to give vent to his creativity.

The art world

Inspirational book. Each interview is unique and each artist has been given their own profile.

Culture magazine Cora

The book with atmospheric photos and well-written texts is worth reading by everyone, even the decision-makers of the art world.
