Katy Hessel, author of The Story of Art Without Men joins us to discuss her new book How to Live an Artful Life. A celebration of daily inspiration throughout the year in a joyful collection of quotes and ideas from artists.In a world of unwanted distraction, where AI is attempting to replace the human imagination, how can we ensure we continue to look, read, think for ourselves? Who can remind us of the joys of creativity? What can we do to bring the necessity of artful living to our day?
Gathered from interviews, personal conversations, books and talks, How to Live an Artful Life collects thoughts, reflections, creative insights and exercises for every day of the year. Featuring Marina Abramovic, Nan Goldin, Lubaina Himid, Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, and more, each entry offers wisdom from some of the greatest artists of all time.
Katy Hessel is an art historian and the author of The Story of Art without Men, the international bestseller. Hessel writes a column in The Guardian, is a Visiting Fellow at Cambridge University and a Trustee of Charleston. She has presented documentaries for BBC, and in 2024, launched Museums Without Men, a growing audio series highlighting works by women artists in museum collections worldwide, such as The Met and Tate Britain.
