The Inner Life of the Artist

The third Monacelli Studio title from Aristides, The Inner Life of the Artist contains a series of short, insightful essays and significant, meaningful quotes by contemporary and historical artists, each accompanied by a moving and inspiring selection of nearly 100 artworks from the past and present.

For those interested in drawing, painting, and other art forms, important principles of Atelier teaching (classical and traditional art training and instruction) and fun practical exercises are applied throughout, with an emphasis on cultivating the artistic mind, along with the hand and the eye.
