From Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Artist of the Beautiful” and Albert Camus’s “The Artist at Work” to Bernard Malamud’s “Rembrandt’s Hat” and Aimee Bender’s “The Color Master,” the tales collected here range from haunting fables about the power of art to vivid portraits of those who create.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWriters have long been fascinated by the idea of artistic genius, the relationship between portraits and their subjects, the inspirational role of muses, and the effects on artists of ambition, failure, and success. Art forms featured in these pages include sculpture, pottery, architecture, miniatures, landscapes, portraits, and abstract painting, illumined in brilliant stories by such great writers as Honoré de Balzac, Hermann Hesse, Franz Kafka, Marguerite Yourcenar, John Berger, William Boyd, Doris Lessing, Valerie Martin, Julian Barnes, Orhan Pamuk, and A. S. Byatt. Their dazzling literary evocations of the visual arts—using one art form to reflect on another—make \u003cem\u003eStories of Art and Artists\u003c\/em\u003e an irresistible gift for lovers of art of all kinds.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardcover\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e400 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEveryman's Library, 2014\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4.25 x 7.25 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 9780375712494\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShort Stories, Fiction\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45659927445672,"sku":"9780375712494","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/Stories_of_Art_and_Artists.jpg?v=1699731929","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/stories-of-art-and-artists","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
