Book Reviews of Andy Goldsworthy: A Collaboration with Nature
Book Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, this guy really knows how to do it. This book will stun and amaze you, I highly recommend it.
There is also a DVD that shows Andy going about his business of creating these masterpieces and I highly recommend that too.
I originally saw him on a PBS show a few years ago and that inspired me to buy the book and the DVD.
Its not just about art, its about life, and the earth.
Summary of Andy Goldsworthy: A Collaboration with Nature
Using a seemingly endless range of natural materials, Goldsworthy creates sculpture in the open that manifests a sympathetic contact with the natural world. 120 full-color photographs.Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy uses a seemingly infinite array of purely natural materials, from snow and ice to leaves, stone, and twigs in the creation of his one-of-a-kind sculptures. Unlike such artists as Christo and Michael Hiezer, whose works leave definite marks on the landscape, Goldsworthy's approach is to interrupt, shape, or in some other way temporarily alter or work with nature to produce his fragile, mutable pieces. To create "Broken Icicle," for example, Goldsworthy was only able to work on the sculpture in the early morning, when temperatures were below freezing. As with most of his works, ultimately, the materials used to create this piece returned to their natural state, leaving no trace of the artwork's existence save for the stunning photos in this book.
