[Frightful_elk · Rating 4 out of 5]

A selection of letters, writings and thoughts from anyone who had anything to say in the past 600 years. Fascinating just to see how ideas about art changed, but also especially for practitioners, it can be like an inspiring or provoking chat with some of these minds. Many of the artists featured wrote extensively, so you know where to go for more!

Read in Spring of 2020 between January and April, don't remember the months, for "Readings", an art class at BYUI.
