FINE ART GALLERY 1 - Pacific Light

"Surely art is a pathway, as much as any avenue in life is, that leads to self-surrender. For our art, if it has any purity, is only a matter of how much we did not get in the way. This self-surrender we always respond to; we want to praise how translucent a person is; on their reception, as hinted at by their expression. For we are receiving through them intimations of a greater reality of which we are part; intimations of a universality that lies beneath the surface of things. Great art, art which endures, is always purity, a channel of clear water from an ocean of abundant life. This great stream is a medium that carries the truth of a thing with the least coloration. Out of this we may get the truth of joy, the truth of despair, the truth of apathy; the subject the artist conveys isn't important, as long as he touches the deepest aspect by which the surface features are pierced, and that element common to all life is revealed." - Richard Caniell
