A Mind in Motion
A retrospective on the life and work of artist Charles H. Forrester, whose six-decades worth of art seeks to reveal a man and a mind in constant motion. Each page will give new insight to thought and creativity from the hands of a prolific sculptor.
A Mind in Motion: The Art of Charles H. Forrester offers an in-depth guide into the mind and artistic legacy of the artist. Curated by Forrester’s daughter, Winifred, the book tastefully exhibits his collection of sculptures, now on display across the world. The book takes readers through his journals, drawings, and sculptures to reveal his steady pursuits in linking desires, memories, experiences, and knowledge. Readers will see in more than eighty photographs covering ten distinct groups of his work, how Forrester consistently pushed himself in the exploration of various mediums. His mastery of each medium displayed an uncanny ability to create remarkably realistic details that were at once exceptionally stylized and abstracted.
