Spanning 300 years of art history and weaving art styles such as Cubism, Surrealism, and Baroque into his prose, Jake Kendall's collection tells the stories of those with an obsession for creation - artists who sacrifice friendships, careers, romance, and even their own happiness in pursuit of a vision. How far would you go for the sake of art? In these 8 illustrated short stories, Monet, Van Gogh, Gericault and others navigate the boundary between art and experience through masterfully written prose that reflects each artist's style. The collection culminates with "The Vanitas", where Sandro Signorelli's philosophy that a lifetime of faith and toil shall receive its just reward is challenged by the emergence of a new artist. Across town, Michelangelo Mersi is making seismic waves. The city of Rome cannot help but be captivated by this explosive eruption of talent, swagger, seduction, and violence, while Sandro's life is plunged into crisis by a rival who does not even know his name.

The author takes a famous painting (or maybe not so famous) and creates a story about it. So this is a book with several short stories about artwork.
I’ll say this right off, I am no fan of art. What I know about art could probably fit into a shot glass and have room left over. It’s just not my thing. But I do love stories and this is an anthology filled with stories that happen to be about art. I was a little hesitant at first to accept this for review because of my non-existant interest in art, but the stories sounded fascinating (they are!), so I decided to give it a go. I’m so glad I did! The writing is top notch. Each story unfolds at a perfect pace and they are a wonder to behold. I even like the illustrations. Will wonders never cease? I highly recommend this collection of excellent art tales! ( )
