Story and art by Anna Haifisch.
Anna Haifisch's idiosyncratic graphic novel chronicles the experiences of a young artist, satirising the exclusive and frequently absurd world of fine art. Plagued by doubts and anxiety, the artist is confronted with constant setbacks punctuated by occasional, surprising glimpses of recognition. Based on Haifisch's own experiences as an illustrator, The Artist's sharp and self-deprecating observations resonate with the current generation, especially those who make art.

Story and art by Anna Haifisch.
The Artist first appeared as a weekly strip on Vice and this second collection (the first was published in 2016) continues our hero's attempts to break out as a fine artist while being plagued by setbacks punctuated by glimpses of recognition. It's cynically satirical, but far more loving and affectionate than one might expect. The Artist is a modern hero for anyone who feels broken by the art world but continues on nonetheless.
