Summary The book ... explores the lives of four artists--two British and two Italian--appearing in distinct chapters with their own narrative modes and time periods, from the 1960s to the present. If that sounds like cause for confusion, it's not. And one of the achievements of How to Paint a Dead Man is that it moves seamlessly among its various elements without once feeling like a juggling act. Nor does Hall overemphasize how these four characters relate; instead, she concentrates largely on how they must contend with the limits of their bodies, their lives and their creativity.
