Experiencing the Magic of Art A Journey into the World of the Inner Self And the World of Art

This is the story of how a sculptor's quest to find the magic of art transformed his life and work. It documents the process through which he found his inner self and, in so doing, so reveals how each of us can come to know and understand our own unique artistic voice. The author explores myths and rituals and what psychologists, neural scientists, philosophers, poets, artists and mystics have told us about the world we create in our minds and how we can use this knowledge to enhance our experience of art. The reader is guided through the great art movements from the caves at Lascaux painted 30,000 years ago to Andy Warhol's "Brillo Box." The book is short, scholarly, easy to read and illustrated with dozens of the author's whimsical cartoons.Schmit, Justin is the author of 'Experiencing the Magic of Art A Journey into the World of the Inner Self And the World of Art' with ISBN 9781589396418 and ISBN 1589396413.
