RETURN |
by James Abbott McNeill Whistler
In the beginning, men went forth each day - some to do battle, some to the chase; others, again to dig and delve in the field - all that they might gain and live, or lose and die. Until there was found among them one, differing from the rest, whose pursuits attracted him not, and so he stayed by the tents with the women, and traced strange devices with a burnt stick upon a gourd. This man, who took no joy in the ways of his brethren - who cared not for conquest, and fretted in the field - this designer of quaint patterns - this deviser of the beautiful - who perceived in Nature about him curious curvings, as faces are seen in the fire - this dreamer apart was the first artist.

Fine Art instructs you to make you wiser. The commercial arts entertain you or control you for commercial or political gain. When you create fine art you are finding the truth within yourself and your world and sharing it with your fellow man.
