A Volume of Timeless Wisdom for Artists to Consult Like an Oracle
Why do young artists struggle to find their voices? Walter Darby Bannard, a renowned teacher, critic, and internationally exhibited painter, contemplated that question for more than two decades. At the urging of one of his former students, Bannard set down his thoughts in a short book, Aphorisms for Artists: 100 Ways Toward Better Art. It is at once a volume of practical art-making wisdom and an engaging piece of personal philosophy, both wry and readable.
Open to any page, and you'll find a memorable gem of wisdom, followed by a brief expansion by Bannard that adds more insight. It is a necessary reference to keep on hand in the studio, and a perfect gift for the aspiring artist to read and re-read, and to consult at times of artistic troubles.

Walter Darby Bannard (1934-2016) was one of the foremost painters of American abstraction.

Bannard’s paintings reside in many museum collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Centre Pompidou. Bannard’s essays appeared in Artforum, Art in America, and the New York Times, among dozens of other publications. He taught art at the University of Miami from 1989 until his death in 2016.
