We wonder what they're thinking, so we ask Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. And you, Picasso, what are you really like? Vincent van Gogh, please tell us more about your agony and inspiration. We must also learn about distinguished women - Paula Modersohn-Becker, Séraphine Louis, Lee Krasner, Diane Arbus, and others. I know they'll tell us. So will expressionists like Ernst Ludwig Kirschner and Otto Dix. African American artists are certainly forth coming. Charles White takes us inside his homes, and William H. Johnson invites us into his mind, a stimulating but often unsafe place. And other painters from Europe and the United States - what are they feeling? In this collection of independent stories, we find out as they Paint It Blue.

Amazon Reviewer - Grady Harp
Controversial George Thomas Clark usually challenges our sense of perception about politics and historical figures as well as contemporary ones. In this current book he gives his capacious imagination full range and enters the minds of artists both dead and living and allows us to hear their perceptions of not only their work but also that of their compatriots and the history of art and styles of that time in which they lived.
How he came up with this idea is a puzzle: he obviously is an art lover and a knowledgeable art historian, but he also displays insights into the minds of creative people based as much on the paintings he sees as on his rather deep knowledge of their lives. This is a course in art history, the psychology of the artistic temperament, and a parody of sorts. George Thomas Clark simply writes very well.
