Art & Fear is about the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn''t get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. Drawing on the authors'' own experiences as two working artists, the book delves into the challenges external and internal of making art in the real world, and shows how they can be overcome every day. First published in 1994, the book quickly became an underground classic, and word-of-mouth has placed it among the best-selling books on artmaking and creativity. It is written by artists, for artists and offers a generous and wise insight into what it feels like to sit down at your easel or keyboard, in your studio or performance space, trying to do the work you need to do. Whether you are a beginner or a prizewinner, a student or a teacher, every artist faces the same fears: this book illuminates the ways through.
