520    "Where does 'art' come from, and what is the 'meaning' of 
       creativity? What inspires an artist in the middle phase of
       life and what value is placed on the pursuit of 
       originality? Where do innovative ideas come from and how 
       do they transmogrify into songs, art and stories? These 
       are some of the questions posed in this ethnographic study,
       undertaken over three years and involving male and female 
       musicians, artists and literary authors in the UK, some 
       amateur and some professional but all dedicated to the 
       invention of artistic legacy.  This book sets out to 
       understand the influences, spaces and routines of creative
       people experiencing midlife via an evocative exploration 
       of biography, self-identity, inspiration, sociality, 
       beliefs, emotion, career trajectory and life choices, and 
       considered via in-situ observations of rehearsal, 
       performance, exhibition, environment and working 
       philosophy that contribute to the meaningful creation of 
       novelty.   While life experiences influence both the 
       chosen and developed techniques of creating art and the 
       art itself, artistic virtuosity is also arguably a 
       conscious resistance to the banal securities of midlife in
       an age of inherent, perceived insecurity. Processes of 
       creation, spaces of inspiration and the individualised 
       value placed on artistic endeavour in uncertain times - 
       and at an uncertain time in life - are understood via an 
       original theory of the 'mezzanine', a sought-after in-
       between zone that abandons the ordinary and embraces an 
       almost anarchic uncertainty where the promise of 
       possibility and the pursuit of the delight of innovation 
       provide an antidote to the banal 'everyday' and the 
       routine expectancies of middle age."--|cProvided by
