Description: Heidi's Horse is an analysis of a child's artistic life. It reveals that in their drawings all children sequentially obey universal imperatives which are identical to those in the history of mankind's art. It demonstrates that art is a second language: logical, orderly, systematic, abstract, subtle, serious and humorous; a way to say something about the world that words can't say.
Notes: We are fortunate to have this book. The author has made a most original contribution. If there are other books like it, I do not know about them. The book is a collaboration of the developing artistic talent of a young girl from two years of age through her sixteenth year, and the accurate, critical commentary on her drawings by an artist.
