But her work, which was grounded in her visionary beliefs about social experiments and personal freedom, ranged much more widely--from painting, film, architecture, and books to theater sets, clothing, and jewelry. \u003ci\u003eNiki de Saint Phalle: The Sketchbooks\u003c\/i\u003e presents a beautiful collection of previously unpublished drawings, notes, and other preparatory work from Saint Phalle's private sketchbooks. Culled from a vast archive of never-before-seen materials, these drawings shed new light on Saint Phalle's fascinating artistic evolution, style, and interior life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNiki de Saint Phalle\u003c\/b\u003e (1930-2002) was a French-American artist and prominent member of the Nouveau Réalisme movement.
