Book Reviews of Art & Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking
Book Review: Simply what I was looking for...
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought I was alone in the world of art, fearing being not too good, comparing constantly with others, and not knowing if there were other artists that felt like me. Well, since the first page I felt like if this book was talking personally to me.
Not only amateur artists fear being not too good, compare to other artists, and try to fit their art to what they think others may like, but even succesful artists all around the world have the same feelings.
Your thoughts are always ahead of the creative work. In your mind your picture is already finished, and when you notice what you are creating isn't exactly what you envision, delusion appears. This book teaches you how that happens to EVERYBODY, how you must be true to your art, and how to accept your achievements.
In a word: this book has helped me greatly. It is a must.
