Opis

My interest in silence has deep roots as I have always been fascinated by its healing power and, surprisingly, assertiveness. Silence is of primordial importance. We need it to balance our lives. But is there silence in a painting, a play, and a sculpture? This monograph uses the works of Edvard Munch, Edward Hopper, Samuel Beckett, and Duane Hanson to discuss the relevance of silence in their respective works. Furthermore, imagine active silence when we relax while contemplating and when we look inside ourselves to touch our essence. This monograph will show you how and then you could extend this practice to other writers, artists, and yourselves. Step in and, contrary to popular belief, there is no shhhhhhhh here. Just start reading and you will discover other qualities of silence.
