Art
Great art moves us, lifts us beyond our daily dpings, creates awe in us. Great art eludes our attempts to fully comprehend it, although we fell touched by it to the core. Great atr opens our sences, nourishes our soul and spirit, put sus in a state of awe and in a certain way transcends all our categories. To create great art, mastery of a subject is necessary, as well as years of practice, discipline and a special talent. But all these things are nota lone sufficient to create great art. The artist, whatever his craft, ia fully devoted and inspired bu a deeper power which directs his efforts. Whether we deal with architecture, music, sculpture, painting, fine crafts or poetry, philosophy or the spiritual contemplative experiences, the artist always knows h eis the harp and not the maker of the harp.
The best way to understand the artist and his art is to access his enthusiasm by opening our heart to what has inspired him. If we do not focus solely on the person of the artist but on the sourse of his inspiration, we can receive and resonate with the flow of his inspirational sourse.
How poor would be without art? How much our humanity would bu lacking? How closed to the larger, inexhaustible dimensions of witch we are always part, from which we can never by separated – not even in death? Ars longa, vita brevis. Art lasts a long time, life a short time. Art gives us hope beyond the gate of death. Even when the great works af art should eventually be forgotten in the passing of time, the spirit which has inspired them is eternal.
