CREATING MINDS:

AN ANATOMY OF CREATIVITY SEEN THROUGH THE LIVES OF FREUD, EINSTEIN, PICASSO, Stravinsky, Eliot, Graham, and Gandhi
In this collective biography, the author of Frames of Mind: The Theoryof Multiple Intelligences (BRD 1984) looks at the lives of seven creative individuals. Each is seen as representative of one of the types of intelligence described in that work. Thus Mr. Gardner "calls Freud's intelligence intrapersonal, Einstein's logical-mathematical, Picasso's visual-spatial, Stravinsky'smusical, {T.S.} Eliot's linguistic, {Martha} Graham's bodily-kinesthetic and Gandhi's interpersonal." (N Y Times Book Review)

DIEGO RIVERA


Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was the greatest Mexican artist of this century-an audacious muralist, voracious lover, and ardent leftist who befriended Pablo Picasso, married Frida Kahlo, and quarreled with Leon Trotsky. Now Pete Hamill, a best-selling novelist and one of America's most esteemed journalists, gives us an extraordinary book on Rivera's life and art. Hamill, who has lived and worked in Mexico, was himself once a young art student in Mexico City.
