The four amateur artists whose work appears in this book do not have much in common. Dorle Lindner is a house-wife in a suburb of London. She says, "I live and work in a frame... I think it's night. Everything and nothing influences me... My world is my own."
Dr. Oscar Forel travels the world with his photographic equipment and his own special vision. In the winter, he says, he stays close to the 300-year-old plane tree in his own garden. Entire galaxies of myseries await discovery in its bark. "It's my cathedral," he says.
Hsueh Shao-Tang - master chef and master artist - creates his own Garden of Eden from bits of postage stamps! Ariane Christine Elisabeth Colette Jeanne Marie de Lalaing van der Elst is a Hungarian countess by birth, a baroness by marriage, and an amateur photographer wishing to be known only as "Ariane" by choice. The common trait of the four is the secret vision of each, of their own fantastic world.
David Duncan, the author/photographer of this book, also shares some of Picasso's work with us. He and Picasso were long=time friends. The book is truly fascinating! ( )
