Description: " In Wendy Master of Art Scott manages a rare thing: the sharpness of his satire doesn t preclude a realistic rendering of personhood and the seeming flatness opens up at every turn to a depth of feeling . His mastery of his characters faces and gestures is also wonderful his line quick and sure and expressive." The New Yorker The existential dread of making (or not making) art takes center stage in this trenchant satire of MF a culture Wendy is an aspiring contemporary artist whose adventures have taken her to galleries art openings and parties in Los Angeles Tokyo and Toronto. In Wendy Master of Art Walter Scott's sly wit and social commentary zero in on MF a culture as our hero hunkers down to complete a master of fine arts at the University of Hell in small - town Ontario. Finally Wendy has space to refine her artistic practice but in this calm all of her unresolved insecurities and fears explode at full volume usually while hungover. What is the post - Jungian object as symbol? Will she ever understand her course reading or herself? What if she's just not smart enough? As she develops as an artist and a person Wendy also finds herself in a teaching position mentoring a perpetually sobbing grade - grubbing undergrad. Scott's incisively funny take on art school pretensions isn t the only focus. Wendy Master of Art explores the politics of open relationships and polyamory performative activism the precariousness of a life in the arts as well as the complexities of gender identity sex work drug use and more. At its heart this is a book about the give and take of community about learning to navigate empathy and boundaries and to respect herself. It is deeply funny and endlessly relatable as it shows Wendy growing from millennial art party girl to successful artist friend teacher and Master of Art.
