Product Description
Synopsis
First cave-dwellers hid their mammoth doodles in dark, damp caves. Next - you name it, they painted it - from luscious landscapes and mouldy meat to diabolical dream-sequences. Now anything can be art - building bricks, half a cow, even a bin full of rubbish! In this imaginative guide, you'll meet rich artists, poor artists, dead artists and artists who really made an exhibition of themselves. Find out about some forgers and fraudsters who brushed with the law, palette loads of ancient artefacts, and how to create your own priceless masterpiece. PLUS are you the owner of an artistic temperament? If you want to know, get The Knowledge!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awfully interesting!, 11 Mar 2007
`......if you want to find out which artist liked to use toilet rolls as sketch pads, which one dyed his hair with boot polish and which one wanted to put dynamite in a duck's bottom - read on!
Included are:-

`fascinating facts about the art that is so horribly old and ancient that even your head teacher won't remember it!

things about the art that is so new (and weird!) that the people who read the news on TV probably don't even know about it.

stories about the artists whose work was so nightmarish and shocking it caused a riot.

Terrific tales of doxy fraudsters, fab finds, doomed daubers, jammy bodgers and genuine geniuses....

and......an interview with an apple!'

If you have read the `TOP TEN' and `DEAD FAMOUS' series of books, you will be aware of the way in which MICHAEL COX puts knowledge across, in a humorous way. This book is no exception.

187 pages, split over 9 chapters:-

Introduction
How art got off to a terrifying start
Dotty, potty, squiffy ....and grotty
The artists who tried to reach the parts of our brain
