It was really interesting at first but got bogged down in jargon towards the end. ( )

A pretty good book which analyses the creative process from a psychological point of view. The notion of art as a relation is especially crucial to understand how an enhanced experience of the world is at the core of every artistic practice. ( )

Although it was written in the last century it is still very useful in pondering the need to create, the artist's encounter with his world, and the nature of creativity. ( )
