Now readers can experience the whole story in one hilarious and heart-wrenching volume, exposing the absurdity of the fine art world as experienced by a young artist. Anna Haifisch’s idiosyncratic, episodic comic chronicles the formative years of a young artist, satirising the exclusive, ephemeral and absurd world of fine art with all of its arcane protocols and quirks. Plagued by doubts and anxiety, the artist confronts constant setbacks and tantalizingly occasional glimpses of success. Based on Haifisch’s own experiences as an illustrator in both Germany and the USA, The Artist is a sharp and self-deprecating comedy that will resonate with anyone who has ever tried to make art. In The Artist, Haifisch has exposed the very nerves of what it means to be an artist in a world of ever shifting rules and complications, to hilarious and insightful ends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWritten by:  \u003c\/b\u003eTohru Kuramori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist by:  \u003c\/b\u003eAnna Haifisch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCover Artist by:  \u003c\/b\u003e Tohru Kuramori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Floating World Comics","offers":[{"title":"Approx.
