To some, the introduction of the summer winds evokes an adventurous spirit who seeks to find a relationship with the outdoors. Clyfford Still saw the natural world as a laboratory from which to draw wisdom and inspiration. His personal library books illustrate this relationship, as their pages are complete with notations, sketches, bookmarks and photographs. The following books, chosen from Still’s library are sure to make great travel companions on your own outdoor adventures.
