ReviewsI can honestly say that The Awakening Artist has opened me to thinking about the spiritual component of my own work, and to seeing the work of others through the 'awakened' lens. So much of what is written about in art history rehashes the same tired concepts, and says little or nothing about what the artist s inner experience may have been. Patrick's thesis is based on his own observation and spiritual experience and there is boldness in it. You may agree or disagree with his views, but it will undoubtedly get you to think more deeply about the spiritual nature of what artists do. ,, Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice - I can honestly say that The Awakening Artist has opened me to thinking about the spiritual component of my own work, and to seeing the work of others through the "awakened" lens.

SynopsisThe Awakening Artist: Madness and Spiritual Awakening in Art is an art theory book that explores the collision of human madness and spiritual awakening in art. It examines a condition of insanity that can be seen in most art movements throughout art history and contrasts that insanity with revelations of beauty, wonder and truth that can also be found in many works of art. The Awakening Artist references concepts of creativity put forward by Joseph Campbell, Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Carl Jung and others. Furthermore, The Awakening Artist discusses many of the world s most important artists who explored the theme of awakening in art including Michaelangelo, Paul Cezanne, Claude Monet, Marcel Duchamp, Morris Graves and many others. Additionally, using concepts of Eastern philosophy, the book presents the case that human creativity originates from the same creative source that animates all of life, and that the artist naturally aligns with that creative source when he or she is in the act of creating., The Awakening Artist invites artists to discover their relationship to the greatest source of creativity the world has ever known., The Awakening Artist: Madness and Spiritual Awakening in Art is an art theory book that explores the collision of human madness and spiritual awakening in art.
