Studying Michael Jackson’s Visual Art: 4 Reasons to ‘read’ ‘Kunstwerke von Michael Jackson’
By Karin Merx
Dear Friend,
As much as we believe that we know Michael Jackson and who he was, his visual art is one aspect of his creativity that has remained a hidden treasure for decades. The book Kunstwerke von Michael Jackson shows artworks that Michael Jackson created in the eighties and nineties.
In this first video, I’d like to share a few of the ways Kunstwerke von Michael Jackson can help you with your research. Although in German, this is a fantastic book that gives you insight into Michael Jackson’s visual art. In the first video of my free video series, you’ll discover 4 reasons why Kunstwerke von Michael Jackson is a very good companion to your research on the visual art of Michael Jackson.
