There began his journey through a crippling and seemingly intractable depression--which differed in degree but not in kind from episodes that have recurred periodically throughout his life--that brought him to the brink of suicide. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRelief came from an unlikely source: painting, something Peter had never contemplated doing before. And yet it became the thing that may very well have saved his life. Bleakly funny, profoundly moving, and--against all odds--truly inspiring, \u003ci\u003eExhibitionist\u003c\/i\u003e is not just an account of a mind thinking through its own suffering in real-time, and of the author's reckoning with his father's tortured legacy; it's also the story of the birth of an artist, and a portrait of an artist at work.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Catapult","offers":[{"title":"Exhibitionist | Peter Mendelsund | Hardcover | 9781646222896 | New | Art 1689183","offer_id":50808064246018,"sku":"1689183","price":75.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/91R9DWM4avL.jpg?v=1792459203","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/exhibitionist","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
