What does genius have to do with making art? (Book interview)

by Alyson Stanfield on February 26, 2009

We interrupt our normally scheduled Deep Thought Thursday for this very special guest interview. Jennie Nash is the author of The Only True Genius in the Family, a novel that revolves around the lives of three generations of artists. It’s a fast, easy, and fun romp through the worlds of commercial photography, artists’ estates, graduate school, galleries, and more. I confess to waking up at 3:15 a.m. one morning to finish the last few chapters because I wanted to know the ending. Jennie agreed to a brief interview about her book for the Art Biz Blog. Alyson: Your story is full of people who make art: painters, photographers, opera singers, bakers. What role do artists play in your real life?
