“DeFrantz's study...is not the first book about the protean Ailey, who was born in hardscrabble Texas in 1931 and died in 1989 after creating close to 80 works. But it is perhaps the most comprehensive, combining biography, criticism, the analysis of dance criticism, and a sort of corporate history, siting the now firmly established Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in the international cultural landscape.” FirstsBookBornStudyCreatingCriticismDiedTheaterInternationalLandscapeCorporateAnalysisTexasBiographiesComprehensiveCombining Author:Alvin Ailey
“The streets of L.A. undulate over short hills as though a finger is poking the landscape from underneath ... laid over this crosshatch are streets meandering on the diagonal creating a multitude of ways to get from one place to another by traveling along the hypotenuse. These are the avenues of the tryst which enable Acting Student A to travel the eighteen miles across town to Acting Student B's garage apartment in nine minutes flat after a hot-blooded phone call at midnight.” WayActingStreetsMinutesStudentsCreatingTownsHotFingersPhonesMilesNineHillsLandscapeFlatsLos AngelesApartmentMultitudesMidnightAvenuesEighteenPhone CallsGarageDiagonal Author:Steve Martin
“Magic is a combination of art and science. It's an art because of the traditional parts of things, the graceful gestures, the sonorous invocations, the use of colour, sight, sound, all of these things make it very much an art form. Yet it is also a science as well because we expect something to come of what we do. Using and creating these almost dreamlike inner landscapes in which we can live, move, and have our being.” WellsArtUseMovingFormSoundMagicCreatingArt IsSightTraditionalLandscapeCombinationColourGesturesArt And ScienceInvocation Author:Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki

So there's the myth there of someone creating in a timeless vacuum.” ShouldFrontsPaintingCreatingPaintCloudsMythFactorsLandscapeShould ITimelessVacuums Author:William S. Burroughs
“The management of creativity is more intimate. By that I mean that it deals with an individual's personal, psychological landscape. It deals with the way you create relationships. It deals with creating an atmosphere and environment that support the creative process. As a result, it is a management skill set that is inherently psychological and that encourages desired outcomes rather than demands those outcomes.” WayMeanIndividualProcessResultsDealsCreativitySupportCreativeEnvironmentSkillsDemandCreatingManagementPsychologicalLandscapeAtmosphereIntimateOutcomesCreative ProcessManagement Skills Author:John Kao
