With Artist-Teacher, G. James Daichendt turned our conventional understanding of arts education on its head, through portraits of noteworthy artists who taughtfrom the classical
era to the twenty-first century . Now, with Artist Scholar, Daichendt reenters the fray with a broad exploration of how artists can best approach scholarly research—a loaded concept
despite many high-profile art-based programs worldwide. This volume redefines and broadens the terms of scholarship in the arts, drawing on the writings, practices, and artwork of a number of
well-known modern and contemporary artists—among them Banksy, John Baldessari, Hans Hofmann, Jeff Koons, and Shepard Fairey.
An important voice in support of the artist in the university, Artist Scholar represents a powerful avenue for exploring artistic scholarship in the twenty-first century.
