There has been so much written about a career in the art world. One of hand, you have the picture of starving artists and on the other hand, you have inexplicable paintings being sold for millions of dollars…
How do I develop myself as an artist? I have read about a couple of dozen books on the topic of art career. Authors such as Alyson B. Stanfield and Edward Winkleman have really precious advice for entrepreneur artists in my boat. Their works are easy to read and cover similar topics (except for Winkleman’s work on Art Gallery). If you want a quick simple A – Z approach, I would recommend Alyson Stanfield’s “I ‘d Rather Be in the Studio! The Artist’s No Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion”. I have actually bought multiple copies of Alyson’s work for my interns and have heard only good reviews from them. In a few simple words, if you really want to make a mark in the art world, keep hitting the nail 🙂
