Artist to Artist: Inspiration & Advice from Artists Past & Present

Summary: Artist to Artist
Review: A beautiful selection of short quotations from artists -- lessons learned, inspiration, know-how, observations, ruminations, history -- well-organized by subject, presenting overall an artist's way of comprehending her/his work and this world. This is an enjoyable read and a lovely book for anyone (including this reviewer, who works as a lawyer) who would like some daily inspiration from the deeper levels of human being, seeing, comprehension and creativity. It is not a book that one "finishes". It is to be picked up again and again. Also a fine gift for anyone who is a thoughtful artist, (e.g. also gave one to my 21-year-old nephew in college.)
