Moral tales for young artists'. Baldessari's first artists' book, the format resembling a wall hanging calendar. In More Than You Wanted To Know... Vol. 1, he explains: 'This piece had its genesis from a notebook entry where I had written, "Tell stories like Jesus." They were to be moral tales for young artists just out of school and ready to enter the art community. Pitfalls to avoid; tales for the art unwary!' 'Two Artists', 'and The Visitor'.
The ten parables, each illustrated with a black-and-white photograph, are titled: 'Ingres', 'The Contract', 'The Wait', 'The Neon Story', 'The Best Way To Do Art', 'Art History', 'The Great Artist', 'Two Artists', and 'The Visitor'.
