This is not a book of non-fiction. This is an art project. The journalistic standards of non-fiction writing need not to apply here - strenuous research is replaced by speculation, scientific conjectures by pure fiction. In other words, you are holding a highly unreliable piece of work and nothing in it should be taken at face value. Similarly, the author is not an art historian or journalist (although he has briefly dabbled in both), but an artists. He is not familiar with the craft and discipline of scientific or journalistic inquiry and could not be bothered to learn this craft. He is an opinionated individual who conveniently substitutes solid evidence with vague theories that he makes up as he goes along. The author also has strong financial reasons for writing this book. As he now has time on his hands, he finds that he spends too much money buying books. Now, he figures that if he wrote a book instead of buying one, he would save a great deal of money - several hundred dollars over the projected 5-6 months it will take him to finish this book. He is also hoping to start a trend - if many would write their own books instead of buying someone else's, book publishers could be put out of business
