What did Dalí learn from Camembert? One of the most famous surrealists drew inspiration for his melting clocks from French soft cheese. The creator of "The Scream," Edvard Munch, distributed bird droppings on most of his works. In the 1980s, Martin Kippenberger incorporated a painting by Gerhard Richter as a tabletop in his own sculpture. Art expert and comedian Jakob Schwerdtfeger shares many of these fascinating anecdotes behind the creation of great works. He provides the historical context, knows the biographies of the artists, and the often bizarre stories that have always been part of art. In his book, he creates a uniquely entertaining mix – a behind-the-scenes look that excites both art nerds and art novices alike.
