| Summary: | "From pre-history to postmodernism, the legends that surround beloved artists have always been a weave of fable and fact. Myths of making explores how true art histories become vivid tall tales, and how the mythologies that surround artists last longer than the realities. In twenty-five short stories about renowned creators like Georgia O'Keeffe, Francis Bacon, Wu Daozi, August Rodin and Jean Michele Basquiat, debut author Julien Guibreteau walks us through a whole global history of art -- and the stories we tell about its creators."-- |
