Notes on the Need for Beauty: An Intimate Look at an Essential Quality
Autor J. Ruth Gendleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 apr 2007
The
introduction
of
this
book
reads,
"Beauty,
like
every
other
quality
—
courage,
fear,
ugliness,
trust,
truth,
wisdom
—
is
a
part
of
us
and
apart
from
us,
inside
us
and
outside
us,
personal
and
impersonal.
Beauty
invites
us
to
build
bridges
and
make
connections
between
the
senses
and
the
soul,
between
contemplation
and
expression,
between
ourselves
and
the
world."
In
this
wide-ranging
and
deeply
felt
book,
artist
and
writer
J.
Ruth
Gendler
invites
us
to
reclaim
and
celebrate
the
often
misunderstood
quality
of
beauty
as
one
of
the
most
profound
and
essential
forces
in
our
lives.
Drawing
upon
observations
from
art
and
mythology,
science
and
nature,
contemporary
culture
and
personal
experience,
the
author
looks
at
her
subject
in
its
most
generous
implications
—
not
simply
as
a
reflection
of
surface
and
image,
but
as
a
pathway
to
wholeness,
integrity,
coherence,
and
ultimately,
to
love.
Written
with
curiosity,
courage,
a
discerning
eye
and
a
lyrical
sensibility,
and
illustrated
with
evocative
line
drawings
by
the
author,
Notes
on
the
Need
for
Beauty
displays
the
strong
personal
voice
that
has
made
her
previous
book,
The
Book
of
Qualities
so
beloved.
It
is
a
work
to
savor
and
to
share.
