Though he was born in Uruguay, Capelán developed his artistic career in Sweden. His work is therefore imbued with a sense of being out of place, or in another place, where difference and identity matter. Through his installations, drawings and paintings, he illuminates the complexity of the culture in which we live and to view society from close up. In this regard, Capelán remains true to his Latin American roots, as his art brings social and political issues to the fore.

Such works as “Non-Violence”; a famous sculpture of a gun with a twisted barrel that stands outside the United Nations building in New York is part of Reutersward’s work. It is conceptual and political with an emphasis on human rights and morality. This book explores the most powerful sculptures and other works by the genius that Reutersward is drenched in either ethics or simplicity, images that further the complex world of Carl Fredrik Reutersward.

‘Drawings’ sees a distinct departure in visual style for NYC based, Danish artist Asger Carlsen. Earlier bodies of work, such as ‘Hester’ and ‘Baxter’, although surreal and bizarre, are unmistakably of a camera. ‘Drawings’, however, leaves few clues as to whether Carlsen has abandoned a photographic practice altogether as the reader is presented with images, the surfaces of which seem to be made up of marble, clay, cellophane and meat. The book consists entirely of full page color plates of the works, plus a couple of pages of interesting lines of text excerpted from the artist’s notes.

This book explores the role of chaos and control in the creative process as well as the difference between talent and creativity. Part One explores some of the common biases and pitfalls in the analysis of creative people, the role of the accidental in creative work, the nature of creative blocks, passion and its absence, as well as the problem of being able to exercise one’s freedom. The author describes the special needs of creative patients, the common problems arising in therapy, their solutions, and, most importantly, the analyst’s distinctive role when dealing with such patients. She also examines how narcissism, neurosis, and psychosis affect creative work. Part Two reinforces the themes of the first part by describing the process and history of the author’s own creative path. These are mostly autobiographical accounts of her overall emotional relationship to the arts, reinforcing the themes presented in Part One: the significance of visual artwork; the role of destructiveness; the importance of love and hate during creative work; the role of mistakes, and the special role of music in the author’s paintings based on Pierre Boulez’s music as well as in her overall oeuvre. The chapter entitled “Music: My First Love” contains an account of the creation of her series of nine paintings based on Le marteau sans maître by Pierre Boulez, which has been posted on Karnac’s blog Karnacology.
