About This Item

Huntsville, Texas: My Own Backyard Press, 1996. CT1 - A trade paperback book SIGNED and inscribed by Linda Wiley to previous owner on the title page in very good condition that has some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. 11"x8.5", 149 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Several great mysteries still plague mankind. What was the reason for Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile? What sound, if any, does a falling tree make when no one's around? Why is the line you're in always the slowest? And why on Earth would an artist build a 70-foot statue of Sam Houston? Better yet, why would that artist do it basically on his won without the usual official permission in the form of government grants? What compels a man or woman to devote that kind of time and effort? Making It Happen: Exploring the Creative Process Through the Sculptures of David Adickes, can help answer at least some of these questions. While the book is primarily an account of the sculptural projects of David Adickes, it also provides a reminder that there are still people who know how to grab hold of a dream and hang on, regardless of public opinion or support. This kind of risk-taking, seen in former times as "the American way," seems to be fading from our lifestyle. At the heart of this kind of behavior is the creative spirit. It is this spirit which drives the artist and which is very much a part of all of us, artist or not. Perhaps being creative is not an esoteric gift restricted to art or artists. Could you possess that same creative spirit? Of course, you do. Making It Happen can show you.. Signed by Author. Trade Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket as Issued. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
