' - The foflozfuifzg a1't1'cl6.vrcprc?5e1zZ the Zhozzgfzls of two of lfze grczdzmftes 012 the place of art in lzzzman life. 6 Every genuine work of art has as much reason for being as the earth and the sun. -Emerson. ln the beginning, G-d molded out of chaotic matter a sublime work of art-an Inhnite, all-encompassing universe. The element of highest worth in this creation, Man, was formed in the image of God. Thus, man was given the power to transform and to modify, to take meaningless matter, and, like his cre- ator, imbue it with a part of his spirit. The eyes and the fingers of the artist became instruments for expressing the feelings of his soul. Art became the medium for the expres- sion and transmission of the most profound human emotions. An essential characteristic of all art is that it seeks to interpret rather than to represent. Music, perhaps the most abstract of art forms, is almost entirely interpretive. The ear be- comes attuned to harmony and cacophony and realizes them to be abstractions of human experience and passions. In painting and sculp- ture there exists a more pronounced conHict between mechanical representation and indi- vidual interpretation, between realism and idealism. The eye has not received the neces- sary aesthetic education to avoid judging the merits of the individual work solely on the basis of its similarity with its subject matter. If this were the criterion for judging artistic merit, photography would be the predominant form of art. Yet, photography holds low rank among the arts, for it must accept nature un- modified. On the other hand, the painter and the sculptor cannot be satished with the repre- sentation of an abstract intellectual concept, for this would not inspire the emotional exultation which is art's goal. The true artist is able to resolve in his work this delicate conflict be- tween actual and ideal existence. Like the earth and the sun, the artistic cre- ation embodies the true spirit of the individual artist. On a minor scale, this creation has as much reason for being as the universe itself.
