Consider
the background of our most famous artists. Whether they were icons from
the Old World or established names from more modern times, it's natural
to assume that they began their careers at an early age. Nurtured
through art school and mentored by teachers, they developed their talent
slowly and carefully. However, some of the most prolific and well-known
artists never received formal training in their craft. They followed
the muse of their passion and produced phenomenal works that remain
classics today. The lives of these self-taught artists are a source of
fascination and inspiration.
