That is why we profess a spiritual kinship with primitive and archaic art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Painting is, I think, inevitably an archaic activity and one that depends on spiritual values.
Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It's the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe.
Art is exalted above religion and race. Not a single solitary soul these days believes in the religions of the Assyrians, the Egyptians and the Greeks... Only their art, whenever it was beautiful, stands proud and exalted, rising above all time.
And that's what art is, a form in which people can reflect on who we are as human beings and come to some understanding of this journey we are on.
We are drawn to artists who tell us that art is difficult to do and takes a spiritual effort, because we are still puritan enough to respect a strenuous spiritual effort.
Art is spiritual.
That's something lacking in a lot of modern-day families - just talking. It's almost a lost art form.
Art is the path to being spiritual.
Artwork is a representation of our devotion to life.
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
