Query: ego

i read only about half of this book and left it only feeling sorry for Jon Schueler that this was a major part of his legacy as a painter. if you want to read the memoir of a highly self centered artist driven purely by ego than this is the book for you. his struggles with art are predictable and childish and never really deviate from a self-perscribed fragile genius line. so if you like self absorbed ego this is for you but mind that a book on a pop artist or minimalist might be a good counter balance to this intellectually-lacking foray.p.s. one star is unfair but thought it was the only way to even out all these five stars. in reality its probably at least a solid two stars. . . i mean the people who put it together did do a really good job. . .
