The Mystic Artist (Book) |
Through the years since Sandy began writing this book, it has evolved
from a book about art into one about the artist's capacity as a kind of
channel for otherworldly entities, forces from other dimensions - a Higher
Power, if you will. This book is a study of the life force that surges in the
great mystics of all time - the Mystic Artists. From the elusive afterlife
they communicate truth forces. From the Great Beyond they influence and
direct. |
The Mystic Artist by Sandra Frazier Out in Paperback |
|
Resurrection (CD) |
Sandy Frazier has
spent a lifetime writing and recording her original music. This CD is an album of songs inspired by
her book The Mystic
Artist.
It is an unusual blend of modern electronica, with trance-like
qualities, combined with acoustic and electric guitars... and lots of 'ear
candy' to always keep the listener coming back for more. "These are
songs written by a painter; and so the album is much like a series of
collage-paintings centered around the theme of water, with many colours,
textures and unique brushstrokes," says Sandy. "It's as though I was literally painting music." |

|
Maurice Maeterlinck |
The great Belgian
poet and mystic dramatist who inspired so much of Sandy's art, music and
writings. |
Maeterlinck's
books are rare and enchanting. You'll be especially inspired by The Blue Bird and The Treasure
of the Humble. Go HERE to see Sandy's painting, "In the Palace of the
Night," From Maurice Tourneur's silent film of the famous Maeterlinck
play, The Blue Bird (1918), which also inspired Sandy's "The
Awakening." And The Blue Bird drawing. Go HERE to see Sandy's painting, "St. Wandrille," of the
Abbey where Maeterlinck lived and staged performances of his plays. On this page, you'll find many songs Sandy wrote and recorded that were
inspired by the great Belgian mystic writer. |
|
Elvis Presley |
Elvis has always
been a great inspiration to Sandy - since her childhood. He was the greatest performer ever to
live... one of a kind, never to be rivaled. |
Even after all
these years, Elvis is as popular as ever!
Check out: Elvis 30 #1
Hits. From Elvis in
Memphis is perhaps his greatest album. |
|
John Lennon & The
Beatles |
Brilliant songbird
- perhaps the greatest inspiration to Sandy musically. "I loved his and
Yoko's idea of bagism and write about it in my own book, The Mystic
Artist." Read Sandy's Blog:
What John
Lennon Meant by "Imagine" |

One Day at a
Time, a book which captures the mood and
brilliance of John Lennon in the seventies. ·

Woody Allen |

taught me just how beautiful life can really be. When I was a youth, I just wanted to be a character in one of
his movies... or go to New York and marry Woody. I can still hear Gershwin's Rhapsody in
Blue." |

Bob Dylan |
"When I was a
teenager living in Chicago, I learned every Bob Dylan song I could and would
sing them at the open mike nights in the bars of Old Towne. All my friends from that time would
remember the many nights we sat up singing Like a Rolling Stone -
every single verse." |

collage of Joan Baez's tribute to Bob Dylan, based on her classic song, Diamonds and
Rust. Get the excellent

Laura Nyro |
The world lost a
great songwriter when Laura passed away so young. One of Sandy's first works
of art was entitled "My New York
Mood" - a charcoal of Laura. "I also
wrote a poem, which then became a song of the same title, which I recorded in
1988" (see Discography). |

|
Dylan Thomas |
An astoundingly
original poet. "My Dylan Thomas years
were some of the most imaginative and productive years of my artistic
career. He taught me to write every
day (letters and diaries) and express myself like no one else. He really celebrated 'the worms of the
earth,' alongside the great harmony of being alive." |
One of her
favorite books
is Selected
Letters. |
|
Henri Matisse |
The original Fauve (the wild beast). "I always knew there was a Fauve in
me; and Matisse only helped to bring out the vibrant colours." |
There is a marvelous
biography called The Unknown
Matisse by Hilary Spurling, a brilliant
scholar. Second volume: Matisse the
Master : A Life of Henri Matisse: The Conquest of Colour: 1909-1954. See Sandy's "Vase and Fruit" (1901) after
Henri Matisse. Listen to Sandy's
song dedicated to Henri Matisse - The Blue Butterfly. |
|
Pablo Picasso |
The Mystery of
Picasso, a '50s documentary, was the
inspiration Sandy needed to liberate herself in order to become the artist
she'd always wanted to be. It was almost literally a day in the life of
Picasso - the camera watching him paint, draw and create through a
transparent screen that makes the viewer feel as if he or she is
participating in the actual creation of his works. In one scene, Picasso
stated something about the "surprising truth at the bottom of the
well," which stuck with Sandy and she was able to build on that concept
to create her "Surrealistic
Spirit" series of paintings and drawings. |

|
Andy Warhol |
Warhol was the consummate artist - constantly observing life
around him, all the people, moods, movies, fashion, events... creating works of
art out of every minute of his life... and loving every minute of it... so
much more than 15 minutes. |
·

Diaries, which is a
real page-turner, even at over 800 pages ·

Vaudeville. |

Go to the Society for Psychical
Research - whose members are mystics Sandy has studied and written about in her book.
In the '50s, there were 40 or 50 antiquarian booksellers along
Broadway between Astor Place and 14th Street in NYC. The Strand is the only
one left; it is also reputedly the largest secondhand bookshop in the U.S.
More than two million books on all subjects are stocked. Most - including a
large but unpredictable selection of best sellers - are sold at half the
published price or less. For rare and
used books, visit The Strand. |
