In the tradition of our best-selling <em>Secret Lives of the U.S. Presidents</em> (120,000 copies in print), here are outrageous and uncensored profiles of the world's greatest artists, complete with hundreds of little-known, politically incorrect, and downright bizarre facts. Consider:<br><br> Michelangelo had such repellant body odor that his assistants couldn't stand working for him.<br> Pablo Picasso did jail time for ripping off several statues from the Louvre.<br> Gabriel Dante Rossetti's favorite pet was a wombat that slept on his dining room table.<br> Vincent van Gogh sometimes ate paint directly from the tube.<br> Georgia O'Keeffe liked to paint in the nude.<br> Salvador Dal concocted a perfume from dung to attract the attention of his future wife.<br><br> With outrageous anecdotes about everyone from Leonardo (accused sodomist) to Caravaggio (convicted murderer) to Edward Hopper (alleged wife beater), <em>Secret Lives of Great Artists</em> is an art history lesson you'll never forget!
