Produktinformationen zu „Matt Lamb (ePub)“
A revised edition of the tell-all biography of the businessman
turned outsider artist
In this no-holds-barred biography of controversial artist Matt
Lamb, Richard Speer takes readers on an all-access tour of Lamb's
life and times. With true insider access that includes interviews
with family and friends and Lamb's own personal archives, the book
offers a massively compelling look at the artist's life. The
successful millionaire CEO of a family business, Lamb turned away
from business and toward painting as a response to a diagnosis of
grave illness. Whether that diagnosis was accurate or not, it was
the basis for a massive personal transformation, from wealthy but
little-known businessman to an artist hailed as the heir of Pablo
Picasso. Thumbing his nose at the art establishment that dismissed
his work and wealth as the antithesis of starving-artist chic, Lamb
dedicated his work to world peace and redefined the art world in
the process.
* Revised to cover the years leading up to the artist's death in
early 2012
* Tells the story of a truly unique character who succeed
spectacularly in the wildly different worlds of business and
art
* This book offers an insider's look at the art world's ultimate
"outside insider"
For those who relish tales of larger-than-life personalities who
break the mold, Matt Lamb: The Art of Success is a thrilling
and enlightening biography of an unforgettable personality.

Autoren-Porträt von Richard Speer
Richard Speer (Portland, Oregon), www.richardspeer.com) is an Associated Press Award-winning writer whose essays, reviews, and commentary appear in Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times, ARTnews, Opera News, The Sacramento News & Review, The Oregonian, and other national, regional, and local publications. He is Visual Arts Critic at Portland, Oregon's groundbreaking alternative newspaper, Willamette Week, where his take-no-prisoners reviews have won him vocal admirers ("A hedonist-critic in the tradition of Apollinaire and Cocteau, Speer has a dramatic, Baroque flair to his writing..."--NW Scuttle critic Jeff Jahn) and equally vocal detractors ("...clearly has Oedipal issues and should return to the whorehouse where his inspiration is born..."--Willamette Week Letter to the Editor). Formerly a television news anchor/reporter, Speer worked at CBS, ABC, NBC, and FOX affiliates throughout the United States. Among the national and international figures he has profiled are opera superstar Luciano Pavarotti, composer Philip Glass, U.S. Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Trent Lott, authors Chuck Palahniuk, Nathaniel Branden, and Barbara Branden, painter David Geiser, and architects E. Fay Jones and James Lambeth. His groundbreaking monograph on painter Piet Mondrian, The Soul of a Straight Line, was published in the webzine Final Cause and critiqued in "The Aesthetics Symposium" of The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies. He has written about Matt Lamb for ARTnews, the German arts journal Hominum Genus, the Centre-Picasso (Horta, Spain), and the Centre Joan Miró (Mont-roig, Spain). An accomplished public speaker, Speer lectures on aesthetics, journalism, and criticism in academic and popular forums around the world. He has appeared as a talk radio guest on KRLA Los Angeles, WJR Detroit, WUCF Orlando, KPAM Portland, and other radio stations around the country.
