Sheila Reid

4.9/5 (18879 ratings)

Description:This delightful little picture book is the narration of how an unusual artwork was conceived and born in the medieval town of Vence, France, a town that has been loved by artists for centuries. Sheila Reid, the artist "For years my studio in Vence looked out on the famous Matisse Chapel and it's beautiful simplicity. It was always a very comforting presence for me. To be so near genius is naturally inspiring but also the fact that the Chapel was not loved or even accepted by everyone when Matisse began, is a lesson for us all that art must be personal and a true reflection of the artist no matter what public opinion might be." Today the 13 units of 'Radiance' glow on top of the mountain side facing the town. A field of 234 solar lights can be seen for miles through the valley and hills. The work brings a comforting hopeful presence to the village and environment. Solar light is a natural, joyful element. There's a direct, pure, almost magic quality in 'Radiance' that feels like a celebration of nature and that raises one's spirits. People are asking what it means and how it came to here. This beautifully illustrated book recounts that adventure. 25 museums around the world have collected Sheila Reid's artworks. They have been exhibited in museums in Paris & Bordeaux, Odense, Alexandria, Baku, Victoria, numerous cities in Holland and in the USA, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Boston & many others.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
