Genre: Business, Leadership
Release Date: March 15, 2022
Book Review
This book is a challenge to ignite our creative spark and create something that is uniquely us. Part art history lecture, part business how-to and part inspirational anthem, this book provides questions that provoke the reader to think about their life and work in new ways.
The author’s life work has been with emerging artists and galleries. She draws heavily from her art background, starting each chapter with an example from one of the artistic greats of the past. But she also provides vibrant up-to-date examples from her work with contemporary artists. As someone whose background is more with the written word than visual art, I was missing a lot of context. I found myself looking up many of the famous paintings or exhibitions mentioned on my phone as I read.
The best part of this book is the Alchemy Lab provided at the end of each chapter. Here, Brito provides questions and activities designed to help you stretch your creative muscles and think about your world in new ways. After all, she says, creativity is a muscle that can be developed, not an innate quality that you are either born with or without.
