Celebrity hype
Only a few artist celebrities could ever have even got this book published (maybe the guy with the backlit candy dishes done by his Italian employees), and then have such discussions happen by virtue of such silly statements.
It was a writer in the Washinton Post, I think that said, "Saying these artists before me were too good - they must have had a trick!, is like a 5' 1" white boy saying Michael Jordan must have tricks to be able to play basketball like he does."
A wimpy and boring basis for a book.
