Curious Art: The Strangest, Funniest, and Most Fascinating Stories of Great Artists
9.99 €
We’re all familiar with the work of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies. But did you know that Monet and his cohorts were iconoclastic pioneers, and that his work was once considered incredibly vulgar? And while you probably know the story of Vincent van Gogh’s suicide, you may not know that there’s pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn’t die by his own hand, but was accidentally murdered.

This book is an unconventional look into the world of art, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, most fascinating stories about great artists and their masterpieces, and a mind-blowing answer to the question of why art history remains a fascinating, relevant, inexhaustible, and spine-tingling subject of study today. Its author, Jennifer Dazal, is a curator of contemporary art at the North Carolina Museum of Art and the host of the independent podcast ArtCurious, which she launched in 2016 and has been named one of the best art podcasts in English. Her lectures are popular across America.
