"Notes collected by Henri's students over the course of his years as a teacher. Still some of the best advice available to art students. Henri is never condescending, always speaks to students as peers."

"If I were to choose a teacher, it would be George Steiner. As well as reading his books, I watch his interviews on YouTube and his references always lead you somewhere interesting — whether it’s a piece of music, a debate about the human need for tragedy, a passage from Shakespeare or Montaigne. He’s into High Art and couldn’t be described as a trendy theorist. But in this book he pushes you to think about what gives art its fundamental qualities. “Real Presences” is an expanded essay that ask the question: Is making art a wager on the existence of God?"

With an opening line of “<i>Patrick Owen managed seven years at Highfields Secondary School without punching a pupil in the face</i>” you just know this is going to be an “interesting” read and it doesn’t disappoint.
