Evidence for the Continued Existence of Art

“Art does not reproduce the visible...it makes visible.” — Paul Klee

“We do not want merely to see beauty... We want something else which can hardly be put into words — to be united with that beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.” - C. S. Lewis

“The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.” — Michelangelo

“…Men in those days had convictions, we moderns have opinions, and it requires something more than an opinion to build a gothic cathedral…” — H. Heine

“Architecture aims at eternity.” – Sir Christopher Wren

I confess that I hijacked all of these quotations from architect Daniel Lee's website. You should go visit his site danielleearchitect.com and peruse every page. It reads less like a business website than it does a theology and philosophy of art, a theology and philosophy that he follows.
