Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review

From Independent Publisher
You can argue that a lot of visual artists and writers have let Giacomo Puccini's La Boheme diminish their economic success. How? Since its first performance in 1896, the opera has celebrated the idea of the starving artist and the tragic struggles that must be endured for the sake of creating art. Not really. In Art Marketing 101, Constance Smith lights the way to financial success through organization and disciplined marketing. She exposes the myth of the starving artist for what it is: self-pitying romanticism. The author correctly maintains that each artist is the means to his or her own success. She takes the artist through visualization, organization, business basics and beyond to taxes, copyright and producing -to name just a few of her topics. There are also sources and references in each section. This is not a book to be read quickly and set aside. Instead, it should be read as a 'road map' to success. It should be followed, referred to, consulted and used. In short order, the tenants of Puccini's garret can move to a penthouse. Smith achieves her goal of providing a clear guide to working artists. This work is a great service to that community.
