Matt Lamb. The Art of Success

A revised edition of the tell-all biography of the businessman turned outsider artist In this no-holds-barred biography of controversial artist Matt Lamb, Richard Speer takes readers on an all-access tour of Lamb's life and times. With true insider access that includes interviews with family and friends and Lamb's own personal archives, the book offers a massively compelling look at the artist's life. The successful millionaire CEO of a family business, Lamb turned away from business and toward painting as a response to a diagnosis of grave illness. Whether that diagnosis was accurate or not, it was the basis for a massive personal transformation, from wealthy but little-known businessman to an artist hailed as the heir of Pablo Picasso. Thumbing his nose at the art establishment that dismissed his work and wealth as the antithesis of starving-artist chic, Lamb dedicated his work to world peace and redefined the art world in the process. Revised to cover the years leading up to the artist's death in early 2012 Tells the story of a truly unique character who succeed spectacularly in the wildly different worlds of business and art This book offers an insider's look at the art world's ultimate«outside insider» For those who relish tales of larger-than-life personalities who break the mold, Matt Lamb: The Art of Success is a thrilling and enlightening biography of an unforgettable personality.

Speer was born in Tampa, Florida and lived in the southeastern United States before moving to the Federal Republic of Germany with family as a teenager. It was in Europe that he was exposed to the visual arts, architecture, classical music, opera, and the culinary arts, laying the groundwork for his eventual career in arts criticism and cultural commentary. Speer returned to the United States to attend college, graduating magna cum laude from the University of Central Florida (Orlando) with a major in Journalism and a minor in Humanities. He worked as a news writer, editor, and producer for WESH-TV (Orlando) before moving on to reporter and anchor duties at network affiliates including WHLT-TV (Hattiesburg, Mississippi), WJTV (Jackson, Mississippi), and KFSM-TV (Fort Smith/Fayetteville, Arkansas). In 2000, Speer transitioned to print journalism and literature. His work has appeared in "Newsweek", "Salon", "Opera News", "Art, Ltd.", "ARTnews", and "The Los Angeles Times".

Speer now lives in Portland, Oregon, where he is Visual Arts Critic and Arts & Culture Writer for "Willamette Week", an alternative weekly newspaper that won a Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting in 2005. Speer also functions as editor for the blog of artist Matt Lamb.
