It also explores key issues of autobiography studies, such as its relation to fiction, serial autobiography, as-told-to narrative, and what happens when liars claim to tell all.

Reading life writing that spans from Tracey Emin,Faith Ringgold, and Judy Chicago to Marie Bashkirtseff, Benvenuto Cellini, and beyond, Artists and Their Autobiographies from Today to the Renaissance and Back delves into the captivating dual realities of artists autobiographies: the truth in life and the truth in art; the authorial truth/s and the truth of their art as they perceived it. Nonetheless, this book specifically concentrates on the truth of sincerity, which, here, following classic discussions by Reindert Dhondt, Philippe Lejeune, and Lionel Trilling, emerges as a truth to self that floats free from facts to connect avowal and feeling. From there, this volume intertwines autobiography studies with a history of ideas approach to art to trace the constancy and variability of sincerity across times and cultures. Through this pre-disciplinary dialogue, this book demonstrates that recent and historical artists autobiographies differ in how, not if, they intertwine sincerity in life and art. Along the way, this volume leverages the foregrounding of sincerity caused by this doubling to explore such key issues of autobiography studies as the relation of autobiography to fiction, serial autobiography, as-told-to narrative, and what transpires when liars claim to tell all.
