| The Anointed One (detail), by Joseph F. Brickey |
In the annals of art history, I wish to earn a place among that class of artists who transcend their time, who share not an age but an aesthetic, from the great masters of Antiquity to those of the Renaissance and beyond. In short, I wish to be counted among the Classicists. Not simply for matching their style, nor even their excellence, but for sharing their motivations, the ideology that begat classicism.

In short, I wish to be counted among the Classicists. Not simply for matching their style, nor even their excellence, but for sharing their motivations, the ideology that begat classicism.
I believe that the physical world is patterned after the spiritual
realm, and that the beauties of the earth are embedded with the truths of
heaven. I believe that the
principles of truth, beauty, and virtue are all manifestations of the divine,
and that in the language of art they find their purest expression and finest
synthesis in the conventions of classicism.
As an artist who loves the human figure, and believes the
body is a temple, I seek to restore the sacred to the somatic, the spirit to
the flesh, that figurative art may once again give place for piety, inspire
reverence for that which is holy, and give voice to the divine nature common to
us all.
Thank You...!

ReplyDeleteNous cherchons tous ce souhait, et c'est à votre honneur. cependant le monde contemporain a beaucoup changé et ne peut pas espérer un tel souhait. Il faut chercher à être autre. Cet art est terminé il peut nous apprendre beaucoup de choses, mais nous devons aller au-delà en plus le travail n'est plus individuel mais se pratique en groupe, en équipe .
