1996réf. 9867gcsBoston: Journey Editions 1996. First Edition. Square quarto burgundy boards hardcover silver letters 180 pp. Near-Fine in a Fine dust jacket. With signed photograph laid-in. With signed illustration to endpaper. From dust jacket: Robert Shields believes in two things: humor and magic. He is a one-man creativity machine who has spent his life sharing his sense of energy and awe and wonder with people all over the world. At the age of twenty-three Robert’s unusual and brilliant talent landed him at the top of stardom’s ladder -- you may perhaps know him best as one half of the internationally renowned mime duo Shields and Yarnell. Cats Fish and Fools provides a visual road map to Robert’s self-made galaxy of whimsy and magic. As an artist designer mime sculptor actor dancer writer retailer and entrepreneur everything is material for his expression. Robert’s paintings and sculptures have appeared in galleries throughout the world; his exclusive jewelry designs can be seen on Barbra Streisand Whoopi Goldberg and Shirley MacLaine. Now for the first time Robert’s art -- and the many orbits of his life -- come together in the pages of Cats Fish and Fools. What holds it all together “My only concern” Robert says “is to somehow touch the child within all of us. My work is all part of the road back to childhood.” And down that road we can see the timeless dance of the Fool -- it’s the road that will lead us to our true selves. Journey Editions, (1996). First Edition. hardcover books
