Descripción del artículo del vendedor

"The clearest, most forceful statement on art by an artist of our time that I have read." -Frank Getlein, New RepublicAn illustrated guide to artistic creation from one of the twentieth century's most provocative and expressive painters.Can art be taught?

But a true education goes far beyond the classroom.The Shape of Content, compiled from Shahn's 1956-1957 Norton Lectures, appeals for artists to break the confines of formal instruction. In wide-ranging reflections on art history, the problems of form, and his own career, Shahn conveys the stubborn determination required to move beyond dilettantism and toward an authentic voice. But he delivers no easy formulas. Critics celebrate artists' seemingly effortless moments of inspiration, yet genuine achievement is always the fruit of prodigious labor. To the perennial questions of "What shall I paint?" and "How shall I paint it?" Shahn replies: Live and think and try.
