My Secret Memory

In , artist Israel Tsvaygenbaum takes the reader on a journey through everyday life that inspires paintings.

Every moment, every person, and every stage of life is an opportunity for finding yourself through creative expression. By sharing his work and the experiences that inspired it, Israel demonstrates the role of art in understanding complex emotions and how everything-including regrets, mistakes, and the lessons learned from times both good and bad-inspires us to grow. When we embrace every part of our lives as a necessary step forward, only then can we truly see the beauty that's all around us. , by Israel Tsvaygenbaum is similar to Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story, by Bono, as well as Van Gogh: The Life, by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith.
