Read it twice and let a friend of mine borrow it, been meaning to get it back so I can read it the third time.

Meh wasn’t fussed on it

Imho it's more important than any Loomis, Bridgman, Bammes, Hoghart, Vilppu, or any other technical book.
Because it's not technical but like the title itself says it's about art spirit, which 90% of people here on /ic lack.
All they want is technical skill but then they draw like robots.

can you sum it up in a sentence or two? why is there an entire book about spirit?

Not him but that is impossible. The book is pure and undiluted soul. If you are an artists and it doesn’t speaks to you then check your pulse

I've read it a while ago, and I don't remember a single thing about it, save for it being very sappy.

does seem like he waffles on a bit. doesnt appear to be the big message the first few posts in here made me think it was. the bits on colour are interesting, and cement what ive heard others say.
i also found youtube videos with excerpts, youtube is useful for art book reviews that people like to talk about.

is it that /ic/ could learn from this, or more that /ic/ is focused on other matters (figah drawen) to learn from this?
