Synopsis
There are many great works of art, but what makes a genuine masterpiece? Find the answers in this captivating book, which looks at the fascinating stories behind the world's most famous artworks - the ones that can truly claim that label. Starting with Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, travel through time periods and styles to Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, and into the twenty-first century with Amy Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama. Each work reveals that making a masterpiece involves much more than just artistic skill: their paths to fame are filled with stories of theft, scandal, artistic reputation, politics and power. Making a Masterpiece looks beyond the frame to show that the journey from the easel to popular acclaim can be as compelling as the art itself. Book jacket., A behind-the-scenes look at the most famous works of art in the world. What makes a work of art a masterpiece? Discover the answers in the fascinating stories of how these artworks came to be and the circumstances of their long-lasting impact on the world. Beginning with Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, we travel through time and a range of styles and stories - including theft, scandal, artistic reputation, politics and power - to Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, challenging the idea of what a masterpiece can be, and arriving in the twenty-first century with Amy Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama, a modern-day masterpiece still to be tested by time. Each artwork has a tale that reveals making a masterpiece often involves much more than just a demonstration of artistic skill: their path to fame is only fully disclosed by looking beyond what the eye can see. Rather than trying to describe the elements of greatness, Making a Masterpiece takes account of the circumstances outside the frame that contribute to the perception of greatness and reveals that the journey from the easel to popular acclaim can be as compelling as the masterpiece itself. Featuring: Birth of Venus, Sandro Botticelli; Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci; Judith Beheading Holofernes, Artemisia Gentileschi; Girl with a Pearl Earring, Johannes Vermeer; Under the Wave off Kanagawa, Katsushika Hokusai; Fifteen Sunflowers, Vincent van Gogh; Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (Woman in Gold), Gustav Klimt; American Gothic, Grant Wood; Guernica, Pablo Picasso; Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, Frida Kahlo; Campbell's Soup Cans, Andy Warhol; Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, Amy Sherald
