Art as Idealized Reality
Ask Me About Truth, Episode 53
Art, Swami Kriyananda says, should be a priesthood, and always try to uplift — the artist as well as his or her audience.
No matter what medium he works in, the greatest masterpiece of an artist should be him or herself.
Questions include:
- You talked about art as being idealized reality — could you expand on that?
- Is beauty always in the eye of the beholder?
- Is there an absolute standard of beauty?
- Why does music have a especial impact on our consciousness?
- As we move into this age of greater energy, will the expression of art continue to evolve also?
