Title: What it takes to be an artist
Review: I purchased this book a couple of years ago in Milan, Italy. Due to various reasons I only started reading it after a visit to Florence last year. During that visit I bought a number of photo-books on Michelangelo. Though the pictures in those books where splendid, the texts did not convey any feeling about the life of the artist. "The Agony and the Ecstasy" does. From cover to cover it is a well researched book giving insights in the historical backgrounds and the thinking and feeling of one of the most important artists ever. Advised to anybody who is interested in the mental aspects of being an artists. And while you are at it, try to have a look at the artists' work as well ...
