So, I have been intently interested in the inspiration, execution and visual pleasures, which have been my joy, for a lifetime. I majored in art in high school and was fortunate to have a teacher who mentored and encouraged me to pursue it with great passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Woodbury University. My master's degree from the famous Beaux-Arts Académie in Paris, and my doctorate from the Sorbonne University. I did further post-graduate work at the Bella Institute in Rome, Heidelberg University in Germany and Edinburgh University in Scotland. I was fortunate to have studied and worked with such greats as Oskar Kokoschka, Andre Lhote, Fernand Leger, and Pierre-Jerome. I have had meetings and conversations with artists such as Francis Bacon, Juan Miro, and many accomplished artists from many countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI became a very successful art dealer, and that led to a thorough understanding of the exhibiting and commercial aspects of the art world. In that seventy years of an all-consuming career as artist and art dealer, I gained a perspective that I feel can benefit anyone with the passion for painting, or to just absorb and appreciate this enjoyable creative process. I share that with you in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Christian Title\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther books by Christian Title: Climbed the Hill (the artist's autobiography) and Christian's World (three hundred drawings from the artist)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50923604148447,"sku":"9781937592783","price":12.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/bjWw-W-yTr9781937592783.webp?v=1785982567","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/paint-for-yourself-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
