Sinopsis
An Artist, by Malena Pizani, collects, through 1,400 sentences, the process in which an artist defines their selfs. The sentences, lacking verbs, describe the artist in a petrified state in which they neither act, create, execute, nor intervene; but rather thinks themself or looks within, through the eyes of the others.
An Artist, de Malena Pizani, recopila, por medio de 1400 enunciados, las características de un artista en vías de definición. Los enunciados, carentes de verbo, describen al artista, petrificado entre dos puntos, en un estado en el que ni actúa, ni crea, ni ejecuta, ni interviene; sólo se piensa a sí mismo o se ve a través de los ojos de los demás.
"Los libros de artista que de verdad entretienen son escasos. Éste, además de ser muy divertido, es ferozmente exhaustivo. Condensa casi todo lo que se ama odiar de los artistas —incluidas varias verdades que duelen en carne propia. Un clásico que debería de enseñarse en las escuelas de arte como una forma de advertencia".

"Truly entertaining artist books are rare. This one, in addition to being very funny, is fiercely exhaustive. It condenses almost everything we love to hate about artists—including several truths that hurt us deeply. A classic that should be taught in art schools as a warning."
