Together

"Super-technology, great as it is, has caused the humanities and the arts of the day forget their true language, that of inner being. The scientific methods seen applied to some of the day’s art works are brilliant, but great love alone is the aim of all art... Art's bent is the truth of life, not the truth of scientific abstractions. For me no glossy synthetic surfaces do, only those that come naturally. Kinetic sculpture can be exciting, but the Neolithic methods are closer to our bone...  In this excitable age, serenity is of the greatest value. The old Indian carvings created a mood of serenity. It is these that make us really breathless. Think of the dancing Shiva in stone! Here is true poetry... Good art is not descriptive, but a carrier of culturally distilled emotions. I believe the displacement of the living and the organic from our civilization has gone too far with the development of the machine and machine-like minds. This has led to the dehumanization of art itself. We have become just too regulated and narrow. A disaster for our own humanity. Think of climate change! What folly."
