MYTHS OF MAKING

Myths of Making is a bold new vision of art history, from a bold new voice in graphic literature. Ancient Chinese ink painting, Baroque portraiture, and modernist abstraction come alive in the metamorphosing lines of first-time author Julien-G,  whose playful and incisive debut maps out the connections of culture, capital, and coincidence that co-create each work of art, along with the historical tragedies and absurdities that have combined to form this much-mythologized figure of The Artist.

It's a new take on art history -- and just as you’d expect from our favorite works of art, it’s profound and comedic, sublime and irreverent, factual and fictional.
