Painting: Oil on Canvas.
artist cannot express the moral ideal of his time
unless he touches all its running sores, unless he suffers and lives
these sores himself. That is how art triumphs over grim, 'base' truth,
clearly recognising it for what it is, in the name of its own sublime
purpose: such is its destined role. For art could almost be said to be
religious in that it is inspired by commitment to a higher goal.
Devoid of spirituality, art carries its own tragedy within it. For
even to recognise the spiritual vacuum of the times in which he lives,
the artist must have specific qualities of wisdom and understanding.
The true artist always serves immortality, striving to immortalise the
world and man within the world. An artist who doesn't try to seek out
absolute truth, who ignores universal goals for the sake of
accidentals, can only be a time-server.
