on the Road: Travel as Source of Inspiration
This exhibition catalogue
celebrates work inspired by travel. They begin by saying, "For
centuries, artists have journeyed in search of inspiration. The stimulation of
changing surroundings, differences in light and color, and exposure to people
from unfamiliar cultures have often left profound and lasting impressions on
their oeuvre and their vision of the world. Most artists have depicted what they
saw and experienced as they traveled. "

The Cauldron of Inspiration
William Oxley
William Oxley says
about the book, "I trace the recurrence of the cauldron motif in many
different literatures and myths. For example, its appearance in the Celtic myths
as recorded in The Mabinogion, whereby the men of the Island of the Mighty
(Britain) use it as a means of restoring dead warriors to life, clearly
signifies it as the cauldron of re-birth. Then its use by the witches in MacBeth
as a means of prophecy or inspiration indicates another mythological dimension
of it. But most of all the cauldron operates in these literatures of myth as a
symbol of poetic creativity."
The Committee Of Sleep
Deirdre Barrett
This book gives examples of artists, musicians, writers, athletes, scientists,
etc, who have found inspiration in their dreams. From the inside jacket,
