Here again I will flail away against the hearsay's of our time. In an age of cheap imitations both commercially and in our own lives I think that this little blurb made me long for another time.
"The direct response to skill is what makes it possible to find beauty in many tribal arts even though we often know nothing about the beliefs of the people who created them. There is no place on earth where superlative technique in music and dance is not regarded as beautiful."
The above was in the NY Times this morning and I thought I would share it for those that may read the ramblings that are in this blog. The item was from Denis Dutton. Mr. Dutton is a professor of the philosophy of art at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and the author of “The Art Instinct: Beauty, Pleasure and Human Evolution.”
Anyway Dang these sins and I will see you next time.
Denny
