El arte importa

From some of his lectures and articles, Art Matters crystallizes Gaiman's vision as a total artist: an exploration of how we read, imagine, and create, and how art can change the world and our lives. It brings together in one volume four of Gaiman's most admired pieces on art and creativity. A manifesto in favor of freedom of expression written after the attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine. Make Good Art: His popular 2012 speech for recent graduates of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. How to build a chair: a poem about the pleasure of building something with your own hands. In Defense of Libraries: A passionate defense of libraries that celebrates libraries as places to train readers and dreamers. Accompanied by Chris Riddell's illustrations, Art Matters is a stimulating legacy for your readers about the importance of freedom from the ideas that inspire us to create art.
