Notes in the Need for Beauty J. Ruth Gendler Marlowe & Company ISBN: 1-56924-292-5 Non-Fiction, Art, Philosophy Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

In our modern world, the word beauty has changed into something restrictive and judgmental. We are convinced that that actors and supermodels are beautiful and we as ordinary people will never achieve such status. It seems that we’ve lost that joyful imagination that we had as a child. A time when our parents told us we were beautiful and we knew it to be true, without question. When we all saw the beauty in a flower, in a rainbow, or in our favorite shirt.

Notes in the Need for Beauty takes beauty back where it belongs. This work is almost poetic in feel. To me, this work gently guided me into the world of the artist who still sees the beauty in everyday things. As I continued, I began regaining a little bit of my child self. In doing so, I felt lighter and the world seemed to be a much more beautiful place.
