I See Something You Don’t See, and That’s Art
What did Dalí learn from Camembert?
One of the best-known Surrealist’s flowing clocks were inspired by French soft cheese. The creator of The Scream, Edvard Munch, scattered bird shit on most of his works. Martin Kippenberger used a picture by Gerhard Richter as a tabletop in his own sculpture in the 1980s. The art expert and comedian Jakob Schwerdtfeger knows how to share these exciting anecdotes behind the creation of great works. He has the historical background on tap as well as the artists’ biographies and the frequently abstruse stories that have always been associated with art. That’s how his book creates a uniquely entertaining mix – a look behind the scenes that inspires art nerds and philistines alike.
