Art and Reality create the Truth.

Art and Reality, the ways of the creative process by Joyce Cary who wrote some great fiction, including THE HORSES MOUTH, starts with 'intuition', a right brain function in today's lexicon which is what we can learn from dogs and cats and other visionaries. Discovery of some truth through intuition unleashes the creative force, and Cary knew this through his own writing. He uses examples of all the great writers, Melville, Austen et al....and the great painters...Monet who found expression in mere objects, and Picasso who could break down objects and insights into abstractions. Great book, hard to get, but worth it if you can find it.
