So much spoken in such a simple way

Never have I read a book that related so much, that was written in such a basic, simple way. Not that it is simplistic in ideas or manifestations, rather that it is put to the reader so plainly. Graham Collier does not involve himself in verbal masturbation. What he says is true, straight and real. Art is linked to life, to philosophy, to social thinking. The book's context transcends time; linking modern, classical and prehistoric art through universal thinking and unconscious approaches. It transcends physical reality and links the unconscious to the conscious, the rational to the intuitive, the artist to the universe. It opened my eyes to things I always knew but never thought to express in such a drawn, complete and inspiring way. It transcends everything to look at it from a holistic viewpoint, and in so doing shows the things that relate everything to everything.
