Description
This series is a slide-illustrated review, with hind-sight and a new perspective of a forty-year study of art that yields both fresh insights and challenging questions. The first part, A Personal Journey, sets out the following questions: How do young artists find their way? What is discernment for an artist? Does it overlap with religious discernment? How does an authentic work of art come into being? How are aesthetic decisions made? Should young artists be ignored? The second part, A Cultural Perspective, continues the survey with the emphasis placed on more general cultural and societal issues and concerns.
