Words of Wisdom: Envisioning Art

Envisioning Art collects hundreds of taut, thought-provoking quotations about art and its creation. In the spirit of art's joyful disorder, editor William MacKay has assembled a word salad without regard to genre, medium, or rhythm. Just as artistic creation cuts across divisions of time and space, this anthology gathers together the writings and sayings of artists who never met and would probably abhor each other's company. In this venue, Allen Ginsberg and Igor Stravinsky rub shoulders; Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock bicker like brothers; and Maya Angelou exchanges theories with Joan Miró. Designed to stimulate and provoke, Envisioning Art invites readers to join the artists of every century who strive to recreate us every new day.
