Description
Creativity Is Time Travel. The idea that artists and writers often predict future events in their work is a fascinating one. In "From Nowhere", Eric Wargo explores this concept, suggesting that the 40,000-year history of art is a literally prophetic enterprise. From Ice Age cave paintings to the works of Virginia Woolf and Philip K. Dick, Wargo argues that creators often channel their own futures and the future of their culture into their art. This book offers a new way of thinking about the origins of new ideas. By examining the works of artists and writers across different eras, Wargo makes a compelling case for the time-defying nature of inspiration. The result is a thought-provoking exploration that challenges our understanding of creativity and its relationship to the future. Wargo's work has been praised for its originality and insight, and this book is no exception. With its unique perspective and engaging writing style, "From Nowhere" is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the creative process and the power of imagination.
