Art; According to Aristotle
"Philosophy makes plain by many reasons...how of all Nature,-her laws, her fruits, her seasons,-springs from the Ultimate Intellect and Its art: and if you read your Physics with due care, you will note, not many pages from the start, that Art strives after her by imitation, as the disciple imitates the master; Art, as it were, is the Grandchild of Creation.

I find it positively fascinating how the christ-like protagonist is juxtaposed by the albatross of death
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar, my response is that we all wear an albatross around our necks(sin if you will)in being humanity as whole; planet earth being the ship, and all together we either sail or sink in the long run of things (Christ being an albatross)...I myself intend to help our sails by way of my artwork.
