Wild Beauty - 9781942371564

Have you ever gone to an art exhibit and felt as if you had been transported into a museum of curiosities? Alan Catlin's WILD BEAUTY is a poetic examination of the multifarious modes of expression in various artistic media, part of an ongoing process of examining "Extreme Art": the use of unconventional, non-traditional objects to create works that fall under the general rubric of "Art." Whether considering the installations of Damien Hirst or a panel from The Garden of Earthly Delights, Catlin delves into the creative process, treating each subject as unique but also part of a larger canvas whose only boundaries are those that the artist supplies. Using this broad, nearly all-inclusive set of standards and uncommon, out-on-the-edge, lively writing, Catlin takes us to the outer edges of the artistic experience.
