A marvelous source book,
This review is from: An Artist's Book of Inspiration: A Collection of Thoughts on Art, Artists, Creativity (Paperback)
This book is to the arts and the creative experience what Aldous Huxley's PERENNIAL PHILOSOPHY was to philosophy and the mystical experience; a compendium of memorable quotes and reflections direct from creative people throughout history. A marvelous source book to keep somewhere close by for easy and frequent reference.
