Bill Smoot<br />
Writings on art and politics by Catalonia’s<br />
leading contemporary artist<br />
Learning from the best, in and out of the<br />
classroom<br />
In this insightful collection, one of Spain’s most influential artists,<br />
Antoni Tàpies, reflects on art, life, and politics. A companion to A<br />
Personal Memoir (2010), this volume includes essays published<br />
in The Practice of Art, Art against Aesthetic, Reality as Art,<br />
For a Modern and Progressive Art, The Value of Art, Art and<br />
Its Places as well as previously uncollected texts. In these essays<br />
Tàpies reflects on the social role of art and the artist, discusses the<br />
influences on his art, and describes his political and artistic views.<br />
Antoni Tàpies is a leading Spanish artist known for his heavily textured<br />
canvases of great expressive and communicative possibilities. His art is<br />
found in numerous international museums and collections.<br />
Josep Miquel Sobrer is Professor Emeritus in the Department of<br />
Spanish and Portuguese at <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>University</strong> Bloomington. He is translator<br />
of A Broken Mirror by Mercè Rodoreda.<br />
Serge Guilbault is Professor of Fine Arts at the <strong>University</strong> of British<br />
Columbia and author of How New York Stole the Idea of Modern Art.<br />
“Tàpies’s essays are of great importance in understanding his own work,<br />
but also in the broad philosophical questions he addresses. . . . His use of<br />
humble materials—clay, straw, simple objects—relates to [his] search for<br />
answers to universal questions.” —Kathleen McNerney, co-editor of Visions<br />
and Revisions: Women’s Narrative in Twentieth-Century Spain<br />
In the spirit of Studs Terkel’s Working, Bill Smoot interviews<br />
master teachers in fields ranging from K–12 and higher education<br />
to the arts, trades and professions, sports, and politics. What<br />
is it that passes between the best teachers and their students to<br />
make learning happen? What are the keys to teaching the joys<br />
of literature, shooting a basketball, alligator wrestling, or how to<br />
survive one’s first year in the U.S. Congress? Smoot’s insightful<br />
questions elicit thought-provoking reflections about teaching as a<br />
calling and its aims, frustrations, and satisfactions.<br />
Bill Smoot teaches English at the Castilleja School in Palo Alto, California,<br />
where he has received the Outstanding Teacher Award.<br />
“I have spent most of my adult life talking to great teachers. Every<br />
one of those interviews has been a delight. Read this fine book and you<br />
can get the same thrill.” —Jay Mathews, Washington Post education<br />
columnist and author of Work Hard. Be Nice: How Two Inspired<br />
Teachers Created the Most Promising Schools in America<br />
