A much-needed antidote to an art world fogged with jargon and pretension. Bryan's book is honest, humane, and crammed with revelatory insights
James Fox
How To Art is a cry from the heart, a call to arms ... Read it, enjoy and be liberated.
Press Association
A delightful guide for enjoying more art, Bryan's witty volume - adorned with original artworks by David Shrigley - shows how to take art on your own terms.
Waterstones Blog
A joyous and liberating new book that I love … How to Art is friendly, witty and super-accessible, so if art slightly scares you, or if you’ve ever stood in front of a painting feeling gauche and tongue-tied, you’re going to love it (such an inspired idea, this book). Plus David Shrigley! … Funny, joyful and completely demystifies what art ‘is’ and how to approach it, buy it, look at it, spend time with it, talk about it and make it.
