Every Saturday morning Glenn goes to the cafe to meet his friend Richard, a brilliant but eccentric and struggling artist. Richard cares far more about achieving his artistic vision than he does making money. Glenn would like Richard to be able to pay his studio rent. Between pots of tea, they discuss life and art.
After Richard leaves an unintentional defect in one of his drawings, the piece of art soars in popularity and value as it is traded among collectors. Richard has no idea about the drawings journey and seems to be the only one not profiting from it.
Meanwhile, Richard is planning his most ambitious and daring show yet, collaborating with models, musicians, poets, and fashion designers. Will this ultimate artistic expression finally bring Richard recognition, and satisfy both himself and his accountant?
An insightful, often humorous look into the world of art and the colorful cast of characters who inhabit it. This book explores the pursuit of beauty, how to find inspiration in everything you see, and the joy of conversation.
