- Summary:
- What kind of person makes it as an artist in today's Britain? How do artists cope with solitude, public exposure, self-doubt, or the pressures of the market? With moving personal stories and devilishly humorous observations, artists explore the complexities and contradictions of life in the world of the cultural industries. Through essays and interviews, this incisive book confounds many of the received myths about 'the life of the artist'. Covering the artistic spectrum, from painters and sculptors to writers, filmmakers and composers, Private Views reveals shared patterns of experience and outlook across disciplines and generations.
