By Jerry Saltz
Hardcover | 144 pages
Published by Riverhead Books

Sixty short bursts of creative encouragement from Pulitzer Prize–winning art critic Jerry Saltz.

How to Be an Artist is part pep talk, part practical guide, and part love letter to the creative process. Whether you’re just getting started or feeling stuck, Saltz’s straight-talking advice will help you push through doubt, make bold choices, and stay close to what matters most—your work.

With tips like Make an Enemy of Envy, Get Lost, and Make Art for Now, plus full-color artwork from iconic artists across history, this little hardcover packs a serious punch.

Perfect for painters, writers, performers, or anyone with a creative itch.
