Symbols in Art: The Hidden Keys to Love, Balance and Renewal

For many, art provides a satisfying and stimulating aesthetic experience. Symbols in Art reveals that there is even more. It tells how the hidden communications in art provide insights into life in ways that can become deeply personal and rewarding. And it shows how to access them.

The underlying message of this book is that the essence of life is joy, and joy is found through love, balance and renewal. This thesis is demonstrated in numerous full-color plates of Symbolic masterworks and accompanying explanations. It is substantiated with a clear, simple eloquence.

Each two-page spread is a complete and whole thought, a stepping stone to awareness and the appreciation of images and the stories behind them—both in the paintings of classical Symbolic artists and in the author's own contemporary Symbolic works. Whether the book is read from cover to cover or opened to any page, the eye is delighted, emotions are activated, the mind is engaged on all its levels and the spirit soars. Its thoughtful insights are experienced as much as they are seen and comprehended.

Just what does the book propose?

That symbols are the universal language of the unseen in art.
That stories represent a rich portion of the meaning of visual art.
That Symbolism is a vital artistic expression during troubled times and that Symbolic art heralds the message of inspiration and hope.

Symbols in Art provides a fascinating exploration into the meanings of symbols and provides keys for unlocking their real messages. It expands our awareness of love, balance and light in our lives and it directs us to visions of a brighter future. It does all this and more with beauty, style, intelligence, and elegance.
