- Yiğit Aydın’s book “Troublemakers and Masterpieces” examines major artists including Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Goya, Van Gogh, Picasso, Dalí and Frida Kahlo.
- The book moves beyond art history’s works to focus on the people who made them.
Yiğit Aydın’s “Troublemakers and Masterpieces” makes its subject clear almost immediately. The book begins with Leonardo, then moves through Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Goya, Van Gogh, Picasso, Dalí and Frida Kahlo.
But the journey does not remain a conventional reading of art history. As the artists appear one after another, the focus shifts away from their works and toward the people behind them.
That change in emphasis gives the book its character: its subject is not only the masterpieces, but also the figures who created them.
