The garden of art

by Donald C. Kerr

"For over forty years Vic Cicansky has been creating sculptures that are whimsical, elegant, surreal, and above all, profoundly unique." "Part biography and part journalism, The Garden of Art does not burden the reader with jargon-riddle critical analysis and lets Cicansky's distinctive brand of art speak for itself. Considering aspects of Cicansky's life that have most influenced his art, from his childhood as the son of poor Romanian immigrants growing up in East Regina to his pivotal art school sojourn at Davis, California in the 1960s, as well as his grassroots politics and passion for gardening, this is a compelling portrait of a distinctive Canadian artist."--BOOK JACKET.
