In Cloud Conversations &amp; Image Stories, Margaret A. Harrell weaves her own cloud photography into the art history of chance images, bringing in related drawings, scrying, and our relationship to Mother Nature. Regarding Robert Desnos\u2019 trance drawings, Andre Br\u00e9ton called the \u201ctangled web of lines\u201d a result of chance, but the figures that \u201cappear suddenly from this chaos,\u201d he said, were \u201cborn somewhat like those one sees in clouds or in the cracks in walls.\u201d Soak up the beauty as these clouds reveal images, many of which look like paintings. In nooks, in corners, of the photo, an unexpected face or whole scene appears. Harrell began photography, walking in the steps of dreams that showed her looking up, seeing scenes unfold, shifting panoramas everyone else failed to notice. One day the dream stepped into reality. In this book, Harrell gives Leonardo da Vinci a prominent role, as he found clouds and other nondescript stimulants to the imagination useful. He had a theory about stains, blots, clouds, as have other artists, such as Victor Hugo. Harrell brings them in, joining with her to take on a relatively untackled topic in art history and creativity: where creation comes from. She asks repeatedly whose images is she photographing? Why do they appear to her in clouds but not on a blank canvas? Printed in full Premium color, each image composed only of sunlight dazzles down on the page.<\/p>\n<p>Great for fans of: Robin Kelsey\u2019s Photography and the Art of Chance, Rachel Eisendrath\u2019s Gallery of Clouds.<\/p>\n<p>Cover image: Margaret Harrell<br \/>\nCover design: Deborah Perdue<\/p>\n<p>Spanish<\/p>\n<p>Amazon.com: Conversaciones con nubes e historias de im\u00e1genes\u2014La Teor\u00eda de Leonardo: Conciencia Pict\u00f3rica (Spanish Edition) eBook : Harrell, Margaret, Jiminez, Carolina: Kindle Store<\/p>\n<p>Conversaciones con nubes e historias de im\u00e1genes-La Teor\u00eda de Leonardo: Harrell, Margaret a, Jim\u00e9nez, Carolina F: 9798986052656: Amazon.com: Books<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":32795,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[806],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-32793","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-photography"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cloud Conversations: Leonardo\u2019s Theory: Pictorial Consciousness - Margaret A.
