There is the saying  "Think outside the box". In the post personal project there is the saying "Think outside the self". Today the self is the new box.

"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality."

Excerpt from Morris Graves' Artist Statment

7/28/2016

PictureMorris Graves Self Portrait (1910-2001)
" . . . I have learned that art and nature are mind's Environment within which we can detect the essence of man's Being and Purpose, and from which we can draw clues to guide our journey from partial consciousness to full consciousness."

"I paint to evolve a changing language of symbols and language with which to remark upon the qualities of our mysterious capacities which direct us toward ultimate reality."
​—Morris Graves

Essay on Morris Graves (excerpt)

7/28/2016

0 Comments

 
PicturePainting by Morris Graves
"A clearly defined, if subtle, line separates Graves' art from most of his contemporaries. He is one of the very few twentieth century artists for whom the creation of art is an act of reverence and perhaps the only one of stature for whom it is largely a means of lovingly (but persistently) reaching upward, outward, and inward toward greater and simpler dimensions of being and evidence of the divine. Here he stands quite alone."

Excerpt taken from essay by Theodore F. Wolff

The last sentence of the above states "Here he stands quite alone." A post personal  artist would respond: "Not any more."

Being Before Stardom - Sting

PictureSting
“For real musicians there is a spiritual component to what they do thats got nothing to with worldly success. Their music is much more of an inner journey. Any other success is just frosting on the cake. There is the idea you can go on American idol and suddenly become a star, but if you bypass that spiritual work your success will be wafer thin."


—Sting speaking in the documentary “Twenty Feet from Stardom”, 2013 (at 1:11:00)
