Art evokes the mystery
without which the world
would not exist.

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

...mystery as in "wonder" and "awe" or mystery as in "what were you doing on the night of Friday the 15th at 11:32pm?"
The photo makes me think the latter...maybe it's the sinister eye contact...
I would say both. But the common denominator between art and the world is the creative effort of unfathomable beings. I'm not real sure what Magritte had in mind. But I thought he looked pretty cool in that photo.
Art as delight in fuzzying the clarity and art as investigation that unravels the muddle. It's a paradox I like.
In the words of G & S (not S & G): "A paradox, a paradox, an ingenious paradox."
