Great book!

I've had this book since I studied a creative discipline in university, and still have it on my bookshelf. It reminds me of spending days working away at all hours in the studio, pondering the meaning of existence and seeing the world around me in different ways. I think this is a beautiful book and serves as a good reminder that there are other ways of seeing the world around us apart from our smart phones! This is actually a good reminder for me to visit an art gallery soon. Art history should be required studying for everyone, before we forget.
