Art as genuine creation, and not as a representational rendering of reality, is nothing other than an attempt by man to affirm his presence in a manner free from the “necessity” of existence. Genuine art is not simply creation on the basis of something which already exists, but a tendency towards creation ex nihilo… (Being as Communion)
Man, wish I was an artist. Not sure, though, that I’m happy with being down on “representational rendering”. Someone who knows something about art wade in here! Theologians get away with too many comments about art.
Hi, I am from Melbourne.
All visual art is representation, even so called realist art.
Thanks John. For your info, I edit out all lists of links. Sorry.
Thanks for this Andrew. Now there’s something for you and your trumpet to aspire to.
Yes, well. Me and my trumpet are a little estranged at the moment. Thanks though. Hope you’re doing well.
