Imagine working as an artist for a decade only to burn out, melt down, and vanish from that world to spend 10 years driving a truck. Then, having never written before the age of 40, returning to that same world, but this time as an art critic for some of the biggest magazines and arbiters of taste in that domain. Having never been formally trained or degreed or even studied art in a formal way. How is that even possible?&nbsp;That is the story of today’s guest, Jerry Saltz, the senior art critic at New York magazine and Vulture, and the author of the New York Times bestseller How to Be an Artist. In his most recent book <a href="https://amzn.to/3VPK58I" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Art Is Life</a>, Jerry draws on two decades of work to offer a real-time survey of contemporary art as a barometer of our times, arguing for the importance of the fearless artist—reminding us that art is a kind of channeled voice of human experience, a necessary window onto our times. The result is an openhearted and irresistibly readable appraisal by one of our most important cultural observers.You can find Jerry at: <a href="https://nymag.com/author/jerry-saltz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New York Magazine</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jerrysaltz/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>If you LOVED this episode you’ll also love the conversations we had with<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-life-project/id647826736?i=1000582487934" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Maria Garcia</a> about the art of performance and how it can change millions of lives.Check out our offerings & partners:&nbsp;<ul><li>My New Book <a href="https://sparketype.com/book/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sparked</a></li><li>My New Podcast <a href="https://pod.link/1610198312" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SPARKED</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/sponsors/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.</a></li><li>Cabinets To Go: Whether you’re looking to simply replace a few cabinets or for a fully customized remodel, Cabinets To Go is your one-stop renovation destination.
