SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE'Irreverent, provocative and funny' Dazed'This book might change the way you look at art, or change the way you feel it' Daisy Hildyard'A full-throated defence of the inherent value of making, experiencing and talking about art' Frieze'Let me stay there, let me paint. Let me go to bed when the sun comes up. I don't want life to sharpen me.'Why make art? Faced with a capitalist system that has turned art into artwork and creative expression into cut-throat competition, why do so many artists try anyway?In this eye-opening journey through the bizarre world of contemporary art, criticism duo The White Pube tell the story of art like never before. Poor Artists follows aspiring artist Quest Talukdar through childhood obsessions, art school lessons and her professional debut. In surreal encounters with other artists, Quest learns profound truths about money and power, and must decide whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself.

Blending imaginative storytelling with dialogue from anonymized interviews with real people in the art world who have all had to wrestle with the same decisions – including a Turner Prize winner or two, a few ghosts, a Venice Biennale fraudster and a communist messiah – Poor Artists is a powerful testimony to the emotional, existential and financial experience of artists today.

Most comfortable shoes, right out of the box!
Size: 8.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
Oh my! So, my ordering of shoes online has been hit or miss - 1/2 size too big or too small; too wide or not wide enough. Enter these Marc Joseph shoes… such a game changer. They fit like a glove, exceptionally comfortable, and easy to slip in and out of. I like them so much that I am shopping for another pair. So far, the size, quality, fit, feel, look, and comfort make this pair my dedicated first pick. Btw, I have been wearing them for six hours and they are still very comfortable! I highly recommend these shoes.

Worth the money
Size: 11, Color: Tan Faux Leather
Ok these shoes are not Farragamo shoes. They are a little more footballish in texture, but they are very decent quality and they fit actual size. Wore them to drive 6 hours and they were comfortable and didn’t make my feet sweat. Later I wore them out walking bc around town and although the don’t have rigid soles, they were quite supportive and easy to walk In. I just wanted basic shoes that didn’t have plastic looking leather. I would purchase these again but note they are not Farragamo.
