I loved the premise and the ideas shared, but...whenever I started reading it, I fell asleep. Literally. The style wasn't engaging for me, and even though I wanted to read it, I found my mind wandering whenever I sat down to it, had to go back and reread, and then got drowsy.

What is your art really about? Where is it going? What stands in the way of getting it there?These are questions that matter, questions that recur at each stage of artistic development-and they are the source for this volume of wonderfully incisive commentary. Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way.This is a book about what it feels like to sit in your studio or classroom, at your wheel or keyboard, easel or camera, trying to do the work you need to do. It is about committing your future to your own hands, placing free will above predestination, choice above chance. It is about finding your own work. No library descriptions found. |
