Produktbeschreibung

The Artist's Curse On Being an Artist Navigating the Art Market & The Art World Is it a curse-or a cure? The title hides both. The Artist's Curse (or, if you see it, The Artist's Cure) reflects the paradox at the heart of every creative life: the very struggles that haunt you may be the path to your artistic freedom. A survival guide. A mirror. A manifesto. If you've ever doubted your path as an artist, this book will meet you where you are-and help you keep going. The Artist's Curse is a transformative collection of 365 daily reflections drawn from three decades of creative experience by award-winning artist and author Steve Sabella. With searing honesty and poetic insight, Sabella confronts the hidden struggles of creative life-fear, rejection, ego, exhaustion, artistic paralysis-and transforms them into fierce, liberating wisdom. Known for his visionary collage work and seminal memoir The Parachute Paradox, Sabella turns his lens inward-toward the unspoken realities artists face and the deep resilience it takes to keep making art in a world that often misunderstands, marginalizes, or commodifies it. Each entry offers a spark: a truth, a challenge, a reminder. Whether you're just starting out or years into your career, these pages will help you: Survive the art world with integrity Transform creative block into clarity Navigate the market with purpose and resilience Reconnect with your imagination and creative core Reclaim your voice, vision, and value Reignite your craft with focus and freedom "There is nothing like it that has been published yet." - Dr. David Bellingham, Sotheby's Institute of Art "Steve makes you feel less lonely by transforming stories into a cure for your curse." - Stella Pizzato
