I will be trying to do a little bit better job this time, because I may take this one on the road as a presentation.<BR/>My challenges are that I am using my wife's newer photoshop, which I don't handle as well.

It cannot be ignored or swept under the rug that Christianity is a foundational element in western culture. If you don't like western culture, that's an opinion, but we can't redact history to suit our needs.<BR/>That's the dialectic that the communists tried - but it will be even harder to "change" history in an information era.<BR/>So, I oppose redaction of history, and search for answers on what Christian influences and outcomes of art are.<BR/>I currently work on trying to discover my own theology of art, if you will. I don't have that answer, but it's a compelling search.<BR/>Equivalence again! <BR/>I think I'll post the rest of my arguments via e-mail, Philip, since it's getting too political for the blog. Even though I brought it up, but I do think there are things to explore with art and politics. <BR/>However, this is my Expressionism month, which is very apolitical!<BR/>Oh, I forgot to address the religion okay, politics not okay question. That is a good one.<BR/>The simple answer is that politics are part of social discourse, and religion is a higher thing - more existential.<BR/>A problem I have with the left politically, may I say, is that if one lacks a theology of God, then I see many replacing that with politics. May I say that they are very different things?<BR/>Anyway - on to Abstract Expressionism!Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-39761058054657035052007-05-02T04:13:00.000-07:002007-05-02T04:13:00.000-07:00I find it strange that you are anti political art ...I find it strange that you are anti political art because it is divisive and yet do not have the same feeling about religious art.

You might be interested in looking at the paintings of my professor, Norman Adams (Royal Academy UK). he was a colorist & something of a follower of William Blake. If you cant find any on the web, I can send you some, if interested.Adam Copehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597553517593344369noreply@blogger.com
