Comments from Arthur Blumenthal's Student:

  • "Just a note to express to you my sheer pleasure for your inspiring class ... I have been awed and changed by it! Not only do I "see" art in a richer, fuller way, but the class allowed me to validate my own impressions. Having to verbally express my reaction to a work of art engaged all my sensibilities. Thank you for transporting me from a viewer to one who "owns" Massimo Stanzione's painting of "Rest on the Flight into Egypt." You taught me to go beyond seeing to "entering" (internalizing) a masterpiece and experiencing its energy and deeper dimensions."

ART AND BEAUTY

  • "For they (art and beauty) are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never visited." C. S. Lewis

The luminosity of the work itself

Rothko_for_proposal_2
The late writer Susan Sontag laments the "revenge of the intellect upon art." Observe the luminosity of the work itself, she insists. She's right. Just look at this Rothko. It glows. It is beyond words, no? Start, Sontag says, with "a really accurate, sharp, loving description of the appearance of the work of art, revealing the sensuous surface of art without mucking about in it." The Loving Art staff could not agree more! (Notes on Sontag from an essay by Tim Stott, www.variant.org.uk)
