As a child, my Grandfather told me to watch the rain drops on the pavement behind their house, and see the ballerinas dancing on the water. Allegra’s book reminded me of the gift I was given, to be told I have an eye for beauty. Thanks for sharing your eye for beauty with us.

It’s cold and snowy up here on the North Coast (Rochester, New York), and I was sorely in need of a little creative fire. Thanks for sharing quotes and photos from this beautiful book!

Oh, so gorgeous!
This is a book to make you think.
I love the sentiment of beauty being part of everyday life. Life can be beautiful, can’t it?

i’m in the middle of janisse’s book which i am smitten with but i have been a surface design 2D/3D junkie since my intro to it in my college art classes — loved it so much, repeated the classes a couple of times — could not get enough of it…

Natilie, Thanks for posting such a vast mix of people involved in the arts. In looking at, and considering Ms. Hicks work as shown in the photographs in this post, and from what you have written, it appears that the work of all three artists involved in the making of Hicks book, becomes stronger, as a result of their collaboration. Thank you for noting Monfreda’s genius. It is clear that the work of both Mascioni and Hick’s can stand alone, however, it is when viewed in tandem that a tension is created, and the “art” that is the book, becomes a cultural comment. No mere documentation of a single individual work could ever be as strangely wonderful as the admixture of Hicks and Mascioni. Bravo Monfreda! T.

Thank you for introducing me to Allegra Hicks! I didn’t know of her work before, but find the images you have “quoted” to be very stirring. I would love to have this book–it seems to have so many ideas one could translate into one’s choice of media.
