I have a strong belief that true ART of all varieties is the means by which mankind may find BEAUTY in almost anything –– even in pain and suffering as well as other examples of the worst aspects of life.
BEAUTY is at the HEART of ALL CREATION.
At the turn of the nineteenth to the twenteth century we were still striving toward the Light of Beauty, Truth, and the transformatinal power of Prayer and Uplifting Thought.
The twentieth century soon smashed all that to pieces with the two World Wars separated by the Great Depression, but BEHIND all those horrors, I would insist the Hulking Menace of Marxism lurked, and its poisonous tyrannical, anti-Christian, pro-Violence and Selfishness Doctrine was the Root Cause of most of the Havoc.
I thank God every day, however, for the encouragement and inspiration that wonderful works of Art give me despite all the wicked, dreadfully stupid things that bedevil us.
ART –– an umbrella term for Architecture, Painting, Sculpture, Literature, Drama, Poetry, Music, Horticulture, Hospitality and even Gastronomy at its highest levels –– has the power to TRANSFORM what-may-seem-dull-and-commonplace at first glance into something MARVELLOUS and EXHILARATING.
