Let's get one thing straight: Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty: Affirmations for the Real World is not a book of advice. You're not going to find a step-by-step guide to meditation here, or even reminders to drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Those things are all good for you, but that's not what Hana Shafi wants to talk about.
Instead, Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty-built around art from Shafi's popular online affirmation series-focuses on...

When artist Tom Curry first moved to Maine, his house overlooked a small, uninhabited island in Eggemoggin Reach. One day, while rowing across to the island, his boyhood fear of water came crashing in on him. So he decided to explore his fear head-on, and began painting the island "as a way to delve into my own darkness and seek a way back to the surface." That series of paintings, capturing the island in all lights, weathers, and moods, forms the...

Taking us into the minds of artists-from contemporary stars to old masters-See What You're Missing shows us how to look and experience the world with their heightened awareness.
Artists are expert lookers: they have learnt to pay attention. The rest of us spend most of our time on auto-pilot, rushing from place to place, our overfamiliarity blinding us to the marvellous, life-affirming phenomena of our world. But that doesn't have to be the case.

Did you know that the Japanese have a word to express the way sunlight filters through the leaves of trees? Or that there's a Swedish word to describe the reflection of the moon across the water?

Goya es tal vez el pintor más accesible. Su arte, al igual que su vida, es un libro abierto. Nada ocultó a sus contemporáneos y les ofreció su obra con la misma franqueza. La puerta a su mundo no está oculta detrás de grandes dificultades técnicas. Fue la prueba de que si un hombre tiene la capacidad de vivir y multiplicar sus experiencias, de luchar y trabajar, puede producir grandes obras de arte sin el decoro clásico y la respetabilidad...

La vida y obra de Vincent van Gogh están tan entremezcladas que es prácticamente imposible observar una sin pensar en la otra. Van Gogh se ha convertido en la encarnación del sufrimiento, en el mártir incomprendido del arte moderno, el emblema del artista como alguien ajeno. En 1890 se publicó un artículo que daba detalles acerca de la enfermedad de van Gogh. Su autor consideraba que el pintor era "un genio demente y terrible, con frecuencia...
