Composition Studies About The Lives of Animals > Bewilderment and Books
This gallery is inspired by two things: William Nicholson's still life paintings on stacks of books, and Richard Powers' story of being so moved, experiencing the redwood forest, that he uprooted his life and changed the subect matter of his novels. Bewilderment is one of his novels.
