Diego Rivera : science and creativity in the Detroit murals

Diego Rivera : science and creativity in the Detroit murals

Read 1/1/08

Started off the year by finishing a book. This was an indepth look at the Rivera murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts. I was planning on going there and wanted to read some more of the background first. It is amazing the details and realistic things he puts into his murals. To actually see the murals is ... amazing.. I am at a loss of words to describe it.

This is probably a good book to start on as I have become very interested in art and thus starts my education into the subject. Education is probably the wrong word. I am interested in Surealist most of all Dali.. but I will be sampling others works.

I have left my evening job and my reading has slowed considerably. I just need to make the effort to read, as I do enjoy it.. and I love reading a LOT of book.
