Omschrijving
'To be or not to be?' The author, Kenneth Louis Shepherd, has perfectly picked up a Shakespearian tragic question that has always bothered us; a question of having a choice or not. As the title suggests, the author asks his readers about the uncertainty of life. The book unveils itself as a bundle of joy for art lovers, highlighting some of the great artworks of all times. Written in a raw and artsy language, it is a collection of unexpected events of great artists and their supporters. With every page, the author wants his readers to speculate about the humanly quest of fate vs free will. Providing some insights into the intricacies of life and death from Cellini to Vasari, To Be or Not to Be indulges its readers into a comprehensive journey where they can peek into the lives of great artists and ask themselves if their chosen path is the right one or not.
Kenneth Louis Shepherd grew up in a Calvinistic society in which it was normal for people to be involved in a job of work. He was never unemployed at any time in his life. He worked as an apprentice hairdresser, as a bookstall assistant, farm labourer, clerical helper and in the catering trade. But most of his working life was spent as the manager of a West-London shoe shop. At no time was he involved in any profession which was connected with art or with writing. At the age of 70, he received via the OU a BA degree in the Humanities with a focus upon Art. He is the author of the book Streets Ahead, which deals with townscapes as seen in Art. This was the first book that he had had published. It was published in 2018 when the author was aged 84. This book deals with people who are seen in artworks in their professional capacity. The author searched for a book on this specialised subject but found none. And so, he wrote one. The same applied to his previous publication, which was streets ahead of any others.
