This book is far deeper than any how-to ...By FrankoIf you are a person who thinks "I cant draw" and you are led to conclude that this book will show you what that is about; you will be disappointed. This book is far deeper than any how-to book ever conceived. The author is in fact a sophisticated user of pencil and brush but she realizes that she does not have the gift of a master and is engaged in understanding the leap from competence to excellence by treating art-making as a branch of psychoanalysis. The reader without specialized background will need a glossary to clarify Milners meanings; but her observations shoot directly to the heart of the issue; and she brings great intensity to the art experience. In a short discussion of composition; for example; she discusses the high-voltage produced by small movements of elements in a painting. Much of development is about seeing: I know that my first half-dozen or so art classes were about little else; perhaps because of my own shortcomings; Milner does not overlook "seeing" as an issue in the juxtaposition of conscious and subconscious processes; but I am still processing what she had to say in this area. She would have understood perfectly what Cage is quoted as saying; "When you start working; everybody is in your studio- the past; your friends; enemies; the art world; and above all; your own ideas- all are there. But as you continue painting; they start leaving; one by one; and you are left completely alone. Then; if youre lucky; even you leave." I recommend the book for its insights; but it is not a shortcut to anywhere.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wasnt aiming to learn how to paint but this book struck me hard in a positive way!By Yujie W.Reading this book was like talking to a psychiatrist. At first what she wrote and looking at her drawings was not really mixing harmoniously in my head so after couple chapters I decided to start from the beginning. I grasped her ideas on my second try. I felt like watching myself in a magnifying mirror. I was amazed not only on her slow paced writing style but also on her calm and orderly way of approaching her long dreamt hobby. She is not in rush; she doesnrsquo;t push herself. She had a quality that I did not have. Whenever I started a new hobby I pushed myself too hard that I quickly ended myself burnt out and slowly moved away my attention as soon as I reached my goal. I understood why I did not have a hobby that lasted more than couple of years. FYI; I wasnt aiming to learn how to paint so I am not sure if people buying this book to learn how to paint will appreciate or not.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Well Worth ReadingBy JH AchesonAn excellent book by a woman trained in psychoanalysis who reflects on the reasons why she is unable to paint to the standard she requires of herself.
