From the publisher

Take a tour through the wilder side of art history, and discover true tales of murder, forgery, and trickery--featuring jaw-dropping profiles over 30 iconic artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Salvadori Dal-.

With outrageous anecdotes about everyone from Leonardo Da Vinci to Caravaggio to Edward Hopper, Secret Lives of Great Artists recounts the seamy, steamy and gritty history behind the great masters of international art.

Here, you'll learn that Michelangelo's body odor was so bad, his assistants couldn't stand working for him; that Vincent van Gogh sometimes ate paint directly from the tube; and Georgia O'Keeffe loved to paint in the nude. This is one art history lesson you'll never forget!
