- Visual art = visual signs of the whole of reality for all to share. This has been the function that visual arts assumed since the dawn of human culture till sometime around 1900. There is no reason to believe the cult of "whatever" that reigned during the 20th century has to go further any longer. Its only success was to plunge us all in cultural confusion and now the time has come to wipe that confusion from our sights. If humanity is to survive the aberrations observed in late-modernity visual arts will have to play a decisive role in producing the visual signs of a worldview wherein humanity is interrelated with all that exists within the "whole".
Terry praying
My friend Terry is a fervent prayer. I wanted to catch her in a moment of enlightenment. I think it's kind of bowing in the face of total harmony.
Forms and colors, forms, colors. The great harmony is something objective. The great harmony is what all great religions and philosophies of humankind strove to illustrate.
The great harmony just can't be deranged, whatever happens in the cosmos, in our personal lives or in our human societies harmony is always resulting... Disharmony is an impossibility, it is a creation of our egos.
As human creations, paintings are subjective renderings and in consequence they are not automatically harmonious. In a painting of whatever style some objective rules apply to reach harmony and in the end the harmonization of the creator's subjectivity with the objective rules of beauty is what art is all about.
