Publisher Comments:

In his widely acclaimed national bestseller The Accidental Masterpiece, Michael Kimmelman climbs mountains, treks into the desert, and even nearly drowns as he pursues art's truths. He explains that great artists like Bonnard and Chardinbut also obscure obsessives, paint-by-number enthusiasts, amateur shutterbugs, and collectors of strange odds and endscan show us how creating, collecting, and even just appreciating art can make living a daily masterpiece.
