Initially, people living in caves randomly drew on dark, damp walls. Later, they named everything and drew everything—from beautiful landscapes and moldy meat to cruel dreams. Now, anything can be called art. From brick walls to a cow with half its side cut off, even a box full of trash. Guided by this imaginative book, you will meet wealthy artists, poor artists, deceased artists, and artists who can truly hold their own exhibitions. You will also discover illegal forgeries and the "geniuses" and con artists who made them, see ancient homemade paintbrushes, and learn how to create your own priceless work. Believe me, just this book can make you an artist!
