This book apparently describes the Artist-Shoemaker Napoléon Gaillard's and attempts by members of the Paris Commune to abolish the distinction between Artisans and Artists. I really want to read this book!

tk quoted De l'attention by Simone Weil
L'attention consiste à suspendre sa pensée, à la laisser disponible, vide et pénétrable à l'objet, maintenir en soi-même à proximité de la pensée, mais à un niveau inférieur et sans contact avec elle, les diverses connaissances acquises qu'on est forcé d'utiliser. La pensée doit être, à toutes les pensées particulières et déjà formées, comme un homme sur une montagne qui, regardant devant lui, aperçoit en même temps sous lui, mais sans les regarder, beaucoup de forêts et de plaines. Et surtout la pensée doit être vide, en attente, ne rien chercher, mais être prête à recevoir dans sa vérité nue, l'objet qui va y pénétrer.
— De l'attention by Simone Weil (Page 107 - 108)
