With vigorous realism,...

Mistrzowie. Spotkania z twórcami
ISBN: 9788378664000 / Polski / broszurowa / 2021 / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Bardzo jestem do tej książki przywiązany, często do niej wracam. Philip Roth, klasyk amerykańskiej literatury, w dialogu z pisarzami i malarzem, których dzieło i postawa były dla niego inspiracją. Ten wielki powieściopisarz potrafił zaangażować się na rzecz innych twórców, pokazać ich magię, geniusz ich dzieła. Imponuje mi postawa Rotha, altruizm i szacunek artysty, wręcz podziw, dla innych artystów. Jakie to dziś wyjątkowe w narcystycznym świecie sztuki, jak piękne! Książka Rotha to opowieść o pokrewieństwie dusz, wdzięczności i poczuciu wspólnej misji. Jej...
