Art collecting is something that has been reserved for those that have bank accounts that are bursting at the seams,
but it is time for the Everyday Joe to have his chance at collecting art. “The Art of Everyday Joe: A Collector’s
Journal” by Michael Corbin offers readers a book that explains the ins and outs of the art of art collecting. It helps
readers to determine what type of art should be collected, who some of the up and coming artists are, where to find
the best art and what should people be looking for to make great art collection that others will envy.
In “The Art of Everyday Joe: A Collector’s Journal” readers will find the answers that are needed to be a successful
art collector. There is no right and wrong when looking at art, collectors need to go with what moves them, and this is
something that many collectors will understand. Readers will find it nice to have this book remind them in such a
subtle manner.
Those who are artists will find themselves being drawn to this book to find out how others view art. Readers will find
out what art collectors look for in art, what an art collector looks like, where to find art collectors, and yet again
readers will be expecting to find hard and fast answers. However, they will get a reminder in simplicity. The art
collectors are looking for the artists to create from their hearts so that they can buy from their hearts. Art collectors
are anyone and everyone, the Everyday Joe.
Michael Corbin’s “The Art of Everyday Joe: A Collector’s Journal” is the second in a series of Collector’s Journals. A
writer by profession and lover of art, Corbin uses essays on all topics to make the reader realize that art is all around
them. In his essays he talks about a range of topics such as rudeness, airports, and bubble wrap. Some essays are
about specific artists or art forms while others barely mention art at all. All of the essays have the same purpose
which is to show readers that collecting art is not stuffy and only for the rich. Readers are able to cover their walls
from floor to ceiling with art from living and working artists. It lets readers know that Picasso doesn’t mean that it is
great art; anything is able to be considered great art.
In “The Art of Everyday Joe: A Collector’s Journal,” author Michael Corbin uses images from his art collection to
enhance the book and complement the essays. He did a great job of matching art with essays and showed a variety
of art styles. It is a lot of fun flipping through and looking at the art. Corbin’s writing style is simple though it
sometimes results in rambling, but always passionate, no matter what topic is being discussed. This series is exactly
what the art world needs it there is no doubt that Michael Corbin will spread his word far and wide.
