- catalog abstract ""In a century that was dominated by science and technology, the wide-ranging artwork of Michael Ayrton (1921-75) is truly a tribute to the enduring power of Greek myth. Theorists often discuss the link between myth and creativity, but rarely does one see this connection manifested so provocatively over the course of an artist's career. Fittingly, this British sculptor, painter, author, filmmaker, and maze designer was inspired by the story of the archetypal craftsman Daedalus - father of Icarus and maker of the labyrinth that imprisoned the Minotaur - and produced over 800 works that in turn enhance the myth's significance. Highlighting the interaction between myth and artist, word and image, Jacob Nyenthuis here presents a catalogue of these works, one that will enlighten Ayrton's British following while introducing him to an American audience."--Jacket.".
