Written in a conversational tone that resonates with energy and wisdom, Living the Artist’s Life is like no other book in the arts. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, Paul Dorrell touches on virtually every aspect of what it is like to be an artist, to embark on a journey without maps. He has made that journey, and has drawn many maps
Whether instructing on how to photograph your work, price it, and get it into a gallery; or whether discussing subjects such as inspiration, self-doubt and depression, Dorrell knows his subject. In addressing the nation at large he debunks many myths about the art business, covers a wealth of practical essentials, and ultimately makes you believe in yourself for having undertaken this difficult, but rewarding, journey. Relying on passion, sage advice and a host of enlightening anecdotes, Dorrell keeps you engaged through each chapter, entertaining as he teaches. He also relates the rigors of his gallery’s shaky start, his failures and successes, and his dealings with New York agents and publishers; Dorrell being a novelist as well as an art dealer. Regardless of your discipline, you will benefit from the real-life guidance of this work.
