Lessons for Young Artists is anything but a how-to manual or didactic textbook. Instead, it’s like a visit to David Gentleman’s studio where you sit at his shoulder, watching him work, while he shares tips, wisdom, anecdotes … Finding beauty in the neglected, unnoticed moments that pass us by is a lesson that can be applied to anyone’s life, ‘Young Artist’ or not. This is diamond advice, lightly given

Jonathan Jones, Guardian
