Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. An artists view on the 20th centuryBy Yair HaklaiAnna Sokolow; (1910-2000) through her long creative life and through teaching of new andindependent livinggenerations of artists; was always busy in art and not in her credits. Anna is an outstanding example of anartist who uses art as a way to communicate and to inspire. This book illustrates what it means to be total artist and completely committed to Art. It illustrates how art is alanguage that enables people from different classes; countries; and cultures to communicate and discover collectivehuman feelings. The book takes the view that Anna was the right person at the right place at theright time exposing us to an artistic giant and looking at the events of the twentieth century through her eyes. Many people from manyprofessions try to deal with past; present; and future; and I feel thatartists like Picasso (painting); and Sokolow (body movement) have a different kind of understanding oftheir specific period; with social involvement without pretense and with their pure; penetrating; andminimalist language. this is their way reacting to a Society that sometimes criticizes them for their independentways. This book is an an excellent basis for further study of Anna Sokolows life and art.
