welcome
Don't you see the flowers
you've culled are no longer living—
you've plucked them.
Wear these,
your chains of illusory happiness.
See how they console you.
A study into the origins, value, & power of creativity
Art is the study of beauty,
and art history is the history of our ability to translate and communicate "beauty".
For many artists, the pursuit of inspiration crosses paths with the their connection to spirituality.
Jung described beauty as a force that inspires connectedness to others, maturity within ourselves, and is a bridge within our psyche to the divine.
Fromm taught that beauty connects us to nature and to ourselves, and has a unique capacity to peel us, the viewer, back from the drabness of conformity, and back from the parts of our minds that seek comfort and fulfillment through fantasy and religion; that beauty is a bridge within our psyche to overpower the make-believe need for deity.
