William Morris: Man Adorned Details
From Library Journal "Man adorns in both the world we live in and in the spirit we create and leave behind," asserts American glass artist Morris. What the sculptor offers in these pages are mesmerizing reconstructions of the uniquely human inclination to adorn the human body. The colors are intense, the images alive, the artistry so powerful and revealing of the human spirit that the viewer remains transfixed, subdued by the potent spell of this artist's great gift. Few recent works of art have such a captivating effect. The portrayals scan peoples and continents, from Africa and the Americas to Asia and Oceania. Yet a fundamental humanity emerges, and one can only conclude that Morris has journeyed to the very heart of the human experience. The rich color reproductions are stunning in both their clarity and their vivacity. This work joins Yood's William Morris: Animal/Artifact to give us full coverage of this exciting contemporary artist. Recommended for all public and academic libraries. Edward K.
