Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over

Author: Nell Painter
Stars: 3
Review by: P.M.W.
If you enjoy art, have a background in it, or want to return to school as a mature adult, you may like this book. It was slow reading for me, as I wanted to research the artists and techniques mentioned in the book. Nell Painter was a well respected history professor at Princeton University. She retires and goes back to finish her BFA and MFA degrees in art school. Her challenges are woven throughout the book.
