Book description
In Source, art and landscape, love and companionship, home and garden are entwined. It explores the profound connection between creativity and place central to some of the twentieth century's most significant artists and writers. Linking them is a journey back to Eden, to recreate a lost, beloved childhood sanctuary that inspires new work.
