The Man Behind the Agony and the Ecstasy

Stanley Lewis, the great, yet forgotten Canadian Sculptor - was the man behind Irving Stone's best selling, classic biographical novel - The Agony and The Ecstasy - for which he contributed a vast number of technical research notes on Michelangelo's childhood and his marble carving techniques. He was then a young and established Michelangelo expert, yet he took another brilliant, yet wayward path, spending his entire life searching for the 'flavor of Canadian art' and establishing his own art style. Because of Stanley's subject matter - social awareness: evolution, anti-violence, air pollution, Aids, cancer, famine and drug addiction, his art work has never been popular in people's living rooms..
