The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The book is packed with specific, concrete details like which artists had which pets, what famous artists collected, and what day jobs some of them held before becoming successful.
- It includes information about artists who didn't follow the expected path, like famous painters who were rejected from art school or took completely different careers first.
- This is a reference book you can dip into rather than read straight through, so it works well if you want to browse interesting facts without committing to a long narrative.
As of Aug 31, the Artifacts is a good price at $22.45 — versus a $23.74 typical price and a $16.08 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
