Jerry Saltz Recaps On Episode 3 Of Bravo’s World Of Art Series

This week’s assignment saw the artists designing book covers for one of six preselected novels. As I watched, I was startled to see how much pressure the artists were under, how sleep-deprived and stressed out they were. I was touched when I heard John say that he wanted to portray “my reality and gay culture” in his Time Machine cover. Nao’s idea for Miles to simply read Frankenstein aloud to the judges was brilliant. I loved that Erik, who did Alice in Wonderland, actually had a tattoo from the book already on his arm. Had he just shown us his arm he would have been my hands-down winner. Something changed for me as I watched this week.
