I started not working for longer and longer periods.
LEARNING ON THE JOB BY JERRY SALTZ HOW TO
On the inside, I was in agony, terrified, afraid of failing, anxious about what to do next and how to do it. Whenever I think of that time, I feel stabs of regret.” In my writing, I’ve occasionally mentioned bygones times of once being an artist, usually laughingly. I’ve never really talked about my work to anyone. In this particular article, Saltz states: “I miss art terribly. What Saltz tends to shy away from, except for a major article that he wrote for Vulture Magazine called My Life As a Failed Artist, is the fact that he had the highest hopes of making it as an artist.

His Instagram can be frustrating at times, and Saltz doesn’t hesitate to block people who disagree with what he is posting.
His contribution to the art world has happened in more ways than one Saltz’s social media platform has become a space where he posts about politics (most recently, a screenshot of a tweet he posted saying “God my gender yells a lot!”), exhibitions that are not put on by the famous blue-chip galleries, and musings on what art writers and artist need to pay attention to when looking at art. And as a failed artist, with the added bonus being married to another prolific arts writer, it suffices to say that Saltz has a lot going on. He is best known for being a veteran art critic for New York Magazine for more time then some of us millennials have been alive. Jerry Saltz is a force in the art world that you can’t turn away from.
