	Book Views Artist Michael Ayrton and Daedalus Myth / 2002-2003 / Archive / Press Releases / Hope - Hope College (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Ayrton, who died in 1975 at age 54, produced hundreds of works of art based on the stories surrounding the ancient mythological Greek inventor.
		Although Nyenhuis noted that the sheer quantity of Ayrton's work ultimately made him a natural emphasis for the project, it was a series of happy coincidences that first led him to the artist.
		Although the book stresses Ayrton, it opens with a chapter that traces the development of the myth in art and literature from Classical Antiquity through the 20th century.

	KEITH CHAPMAN (Modern Sculptors) Michael Ayrton - Galleries Magazine
		Michael Ayrton once said that he would like to be described as an image maker, and always regretted that this was not a description considered permissible on a passport.
		The Minotaur for Ayrton became a desperate Everyman – the quintessential proof of his determination to mine his chosen mythology not just for a resonance borrowed from the distant past, but for emotions and situations equally urgent and relevant to here and now.
		It is not a modest ambition, and Ayrton was not a modest man. But then, looking at this, the first major retrospective exhibition of his work for more than a decade, he didn’t need to be.

	Myth and the Creative Process - Michael Ayrton and the Myth of Daedalus, the Maze Maker - Jacob E. Nyenhuis
		In a century that was dominated by science and technology, the wide-ranging artwork of Michael Ayrton (1921-75) is truly a tribute to the enduring power of Greek myth.
		Fittingly, this British sculptor, painter, author, filmmaker, and maze designer was inspired by the story of the archetypal craftsman Daedalus—father of Icarus and maker of the labyrinth that imprisoned the Minotaur—and produced over 800 works that in turn enhance the myth's significance.
		The intensity of Ayrton's journey is conveyed in this beautifully produced volume comprising biography, critical analysis, historical context, and an annotated catalogue of the works, many appearing in color.

		Ayrton was now a marked man. The reader of his brilliant article senses that, by this stage, there can be no turning back, and the author might as well abandon all concern for his personal safety.
		Ayrton had long worried that he might be remembered more as a critic than as a painter.
		Ayrton was `distressed by the damage undoubtedly caused by the Picasso incident, writing ruefully to a friend in April that "as you know I am not exactly popular with the established reputations among writers on art and am indeed on terms of abuse with most of them..

	TIME.com: Poor Blighters -- Jul 9, 1951 -- Page 1
		Last week in London, Ayrton, now 30, closed the most successful show of his career: drawings and paintings in somber greys, yellows, and greens of hollow-eyed men, women and children with thin, bony figures and a quality of patient loneliness.
		Ayrton's best work concerns "the greatest human tragedy, the failure to communicate." In Mirror Image, a young man stares at a silent girl whose unhappy face is reflected in a mirror over his shoulder.
		In The Indomitable Bather, Ayrton catches the humor and pathos of a more familiar subject, "a small boy who finds it bloody cold in the water, but his passionate desire to stay there is greater than the physical discomfort.

		Michael Ayrton (1921-1975) was one of several British artists who, especially during World War II, looked to the native countryside for fierce solace.
		Ayrton's biographer, Justine Hopkins, writes of his "powerful perception of the forces stirring in the land and its inanimate inhabitants." For Ayrton, she writes, these forces were, potentially, "metamorphosed metaphors of the human condition."
		Ayrton wrote that the garden "must have reacted to the agony of the vigil.

		A nonconformist who challenged Picasso's reign over the art world, Ayrton found in Daedalus a richly complex story of captivity and escape, ingenuity and creativity, flight and fall, success and failure.
		Ayrton's own journey into the labyrinth set him on a torturous path through life and into the psyche: he came to identify himself not only with the craftsman but also with the Minotaur, representative of the bestial nature hidden within all of us.

		Since I have already repeated myself, once, let me do so again and say I appreciate most those critics of any form of expression—food, music, art, literature—who tell me forthrightly whether they like a given experience and, if they are able to do so, to tell me why they do (or do not).
		There is a peculiar mystery about Michael Ayrton that I am unable to unravel from this position in space and time.
		It may come to pass that at some future time I will encounter just the person who will tell me why Aryton has not achieved the kind of artistic reputation he clearly deserves and why he seems to be hidden in the cracks of art history.
