This can hamper the artist's development and create confusion among potential collectors. Ultimately the artist's career can be impacted. In this short book I seek to lay out the difference between voice and style. Also how to nurture your voice and indeed, what it means to have a voice as a creative artist. This book will clarify the concept and provide a starting point for artists confused by the concepts of voice and style.

Are we allowed to scrutinize public art, even if the public doesn’t pay for it? It only took the city of Buffalo 15 minutes to shut it off and five days for Mayor Jimmy Griffin to tear down Billie Lawless’ sculpture "Green Lightning" in 1984. It may have had something to do with dancing neon figures that resembled Mr. Peanut. But, to this day it’s unclear if the artist tricked the city or the city acted hastily. For the first time, through interviews, court documents, and press clippings, the story of "Green Lightning" is told. The story of "Green Lightning" is a cautionary tale about...

Но когда заходит речь об архитекторах – то былая ясность исчезает, предмет разговора начинает скрываться в тумане, хотя имена авторов самых знаменитых зданий многие хорошо знают – Палладио или Корбюзье, Баженов или Растрелли, все мы слышали об этих гениальных зодчих.

There are two sides to every story however, and this controversial decade also produced many genre pieces that are still revered to this day. Within this book the horror films of the 1990s are analyzed and documented fairly. Second Scream is supported ...
