Conversations with important artists have played a central role in the magazine, where Whittaker's understated but perceptive questions have allowed artists to comment on their work, their philosophies, their influences, the difficulty of creating art, and the failures that are part of the creative process. The result of Whittaker's attentive dialogue has been a series of fascinating and highly personal interviews that frequently contradict what others have said elsewhere about these artists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Conversations\u003c\/i\u003e brings together what Whittaker considers the sixteen most relevant interviews, providing remarkable insight into the individual artist's work, mistakes, and philosophies as well as the social and cultural values in which these artists work. The artists interviewed are Richard Berger, Jim Campbell, Squeak Carnwath, James Doolin, Viola Frey, James Hubbell, Enrique Mart nez Celaya, Michael C. McMillen, Nathan Oliveira, David Parker, Judy Pfaff, Irene Pijoan, Jane Rosen, Katherine Sherwood, James Turrell, and Ursula von Rydingsvard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Whittaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0967360889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780967360881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Whale \u0026amp; Star\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.95h x 7.12w x 0.59d","brand":"Richard Whittaker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120461050111,"sku":"9780967360881","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29974316-aa08-4c51-ba50-ce3522e9901b.jpg?v=1687414447","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-conversations-richard-whittaker-9780967360881","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
