Looking for a short story... [View all]
Had to be in an anthology around the early '80's or so. I don't think Dangerous Visions 2. It was a library loan.
I made a big drawing based on it.
Husband, and wife. Husband is a high ranking ?US Military official, she is a sculptor. Seriously escalating world tensions; whether US v Soviet Union is "spelled out" I don't remember.
Suddenly or so visual artists from around the world are internally compelled to either start and finish a new project, or complete a current project.
Somehow we find out that if the artists can complete their projects "in time";
the next World War will averted!
My drawing was as followed.
Main part - the couple is arguing (I don't remember why). Lower left corner we see a sculptor (her?) working on a project. Lower right-hand corner we see the husband in the War Room w others.
If anyone has an inkling about this please let me know. TIA!
