Awful art - Michael Cox

First cave-dwellers hid their mammoth doodles in dark, damp caves.
Next - you name it, they painted it - from luscious landscapes
and mouldy meat to diabolical dream-sequences. Now anything can
be art - building bricks, half a cow, even a bin full of rubbish!
In this imaginative guide, you'll meet rich artists, poor artists,
dead artists and artists who really made an exhibition of themselves.
Find out about some forgers and fraudsters who brushed
with the law, palette loads of ancient artefacts, and how to create
your own priceless masterpiece. PLUS are you the owner of an
artistic temperament?
