The Holistic Artist: An Exploration Into Art + Identity - Paperback

by Vernon Hyndman (Author), Heath Hollensbe (Author)

Calling all artists and creatives The time to create is now and you are the person to do it Sadly, much of the art we see today is not worthy of holding the title of "art." The reason? We see examples that reveal constraints imposed by the creator rather than art embodying the freedom of design; much of what we view is regurgitated self-expression rather than actual art. In "The Holistic Artist," Hollensbe and Hyndman spin 40 angles of the purpose of art, and argue that a more holistic "you" is the only way to produce awe-inspiring and world-changing art. Give art your strength, not your need... then step back, buckle up and watch what explodes.
