Summary Note |
Nick Cave's inspiration as seen through pictures and notes from his archive. A scrapbook of rarely seen photos and sketches which traces Nick Cave’s transformation from Aussie teenager into an international artist. A journey in images and words into the creative world of this musician, storyteller and cultural icon. This book contains images selected by Cave from 'Stranger Than Kindness: The Nick Cave Exhibition', presented by the Royal Danish Library in partnership with Arts Centre Melbourne. Featuring full-colour reproductions of original artwork, handwritten lyrics, photographs and collected personal artefacts, it presents Cave's life, work and inspiration and explores his many real and imagined universes. Images are paired with commentary and meditations from Cave and celebrated writer Darcey Steinke on themes that are central to Cave's work. Stranger Than Kindness asks what shapes our lives and makes us who we are, and celebrates the curiosity and power of the creative spirit. |
