How to Be an Artist by Jerry Saltz is a short, practical handbook about creative work, adapted from his influential New York Magazine essay and expanded into a book for painters, writers, performers, photographers, and other makers. Rather than offering a theory of art history or a formal method, it presents concise rules, prompts, and exercises meant to help readers begin, continue, and finish creative work. Saltz writes from the perspective of an art critic who has spent decades around working artists, and the book reflects that position: it is direct, skeptical of pretension, and focused on the everyday problems that block making. Its purpose is not to define art narrowly, but to help readers move through self-doubt, perfectionism, and hesitation by emphasizing practice, vulnerability, and persistence. The result is a compact guide that is as much about working honestly as it is about producing finished objects.
