Riassunto

In this exciting new contribution to the study of creativity, psychologist, artist, and writer Dr. Patricia Stokes delves into the minds of famous creative artists and discovers the surprising source leading to their creative breakthroughs.

From Picasso to Stravinsky, Kundera and Chanel to Frank Lloyd Wright, it is not boundary-less creative freedom that inspires new ideas, but self-imposed, well-considered constraints. Monet forced himself to repeatedly paint the way light broke on, between, and around his subjects, contrasting color instead of light and dark, and softening edges in the process. His constraints catapulted the art world from representational to impressionist art.

Whatever your creative field--be you an artist, educator, or psychologist who studies creativity and problem solving--Stokes shows you how to think clearly about your creative development and design the vital constraints that will take you to breakthrough.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Patricia Stokes teaches and conducts research at Barnard College, Columbia University, where she is an adjunct professor of psychology. However, her expertise on creativity is hands-on. Prior to becoming a psychologist, she painted at Pratt, wrote advertising copy at J. Walter Thompson, and became a creative group head at Ted Bates & Co. Her approach is that of a practitioner, applying a constraint-based strategy (acquired in art and advertising) to analyze the careers of renowned creators, to interview current creators, and to help future creators understand their own development.
