In this first book of interviews with visual artists from across Texas, more than sixty artists reflect on topics from formative influences and inspirations to their common engagement with found materials. Beyond the art itself, no source is more primary to understanding art and artist than the artist’s own words. After all, who can speak with more authority about the artist’s influences, motivations, methods, philosophies, and creations? Since 2010, Robert Craig Bunch has interviewed sixty-four of Texas’ finest artists, who have responded with honesty, clarity, and—naturally—great insight into their own work. None of these interviews has been previously published, even in part. Incorporating a striking, full-color illustration of each artist’s work, these absorbing self-examinations will stand collectively as a reference of lasting value.
This work reflects a comprehensive look at the Wardlaws when they lived in Scotland. The book is arranged in chronological time order from their very beginnings up to the late 1600's when the Wardlaws came to America. One of the first to immigrate was Sir Henry Wardlaw, who was made a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1630. This publication is based on the book "Wardlaws in Scotland", written in 1912 by John C. Gibson. The author has also included many photographs she took on her first trip to Scotland of many ancient Wardlaw places.
