The best thing about rules is that you can break them: Art Rules presents over 100 mantras for anyone interested in creating great art. What can we learn from great artists? When we hold their practices up to the light, what do we see – and how might those encounters reshape our own thinking about art?
Delving into the attitudes, working practices and mantras of artists hailing from the eighteenth century to the present day, Art Rules distills over 100 insights into the lives of artists inside the studio and out. This book is animated by questions: How do artists think about creativity? What forms can process take? How might artists craft a personal definition of success?
Drawing upon art historical research and artist interviews, the accessible takeaways on these virtuosos’ varied practices pack a punch. This lively compendium offers up a wealth of perspectives from an international, intergenerational group of artists working across media.Art historical heavyweights including Louise Bourgeois, Marcel Duchamp, Frida Kahlo and Henri Matisse appear alongside relatively newer names such as Kerry James Marshall, Ana Mendieta and Mika Rottenberg, as well as exciting artists on the rise like Emilie Louise Gossiaux and Madeline Hollander.
Some of the insights may seem more practical, while others trend conceptual; some may unearth existing knowledge, while others may come as a surprise; some will stay with you forever, while others you’ll only need to try once. Art Rules allows readers to either dip in at random or read from cover to cover for lessons in how great artists think, make and work.

Great choices and great service. The book arrived early!!!
I brought alot of great books from you very interesting by alot of great artists !
As ever, great service from this retailer. Very happy with this and all other purchases.
Just what i wanted
A wonderful, comprehensive survey of the period. A top quality book.
As a type designer, I found the Stenciletter: Dotted Journal With 4 Stencils surprisingly useful. The dotted grid gives enough structure for sketching letterforms while still feeling open and flexible, and the stencils are great for quickly testing modular shapes, spacing, and compositions.
What I appreciated most was how it encourages experimentation without everything needing to feel overly polished straight away. It works well for rough type concepts, pattern ideas, and even early grid systems. The quality of the paper and layout also make it enjoyable to use as an everyday design notebook rather than just a novelty item.
A really thoughtful tool for anyone interested in typography, lettering, or structured visual experimentation.
Excellent outlet for lots of books I’m interested in. Fast despatch, no-nonsense - and Guy is obviously great at running it. A nice new twist on what used to be called the remainders market. Bravo!
I stumbled upon Books About Art by complete happenstance and found three books that immediately found their way into my basket. Guy’s customer service was tremendous! There was a small hiccup with DHL’s delivery and Guy immediately rectified the hiccup without me ever having to contact DHL. I’m counting the days until my next paycheque and my next purchase. Absolutely stellar service.
Great selection of design books at a great price! Super fast delivery too.. will be shopping here again very soon!
Everything arrived in perfect condition & quickly
