Artistic Ice

Toller Cranston is artist both on ice and on canvas, and this book perfectly captures the essence of his bizarre talents.It is an irresistible mixture of autobiography, sketches, poems, paintings, humour and tongue-in-cheek observations. One is left with the feeling that, by reading this book, one has entered Mr Cranston's rarified world - or, as he would describe it, one has entered the Fourth Dimension.Ice, as an art form, burst into prominence in the late Seventies, with the advent of two artistic giants - Britain's John Curry and Canada's Toller Cranston. Of the two, Toller Cranston was the true innovator - never afraid to explore new directions and never afraid of failure. These are the qualities he brings to this absorbing book, and the results are dazzling.
