The Holy Church of Art: Sermonettte #6

Brothers and sisters in art, the role of prophet takes courage. To be a voice for art in the vast desert of lame, lazy and bland images is an important calling. But it is not for the faint of heart. The people have seduced by slick bombastics, eye candy, spectacle and cheap visual tricks. Yet deep down they yearn for the insights into the human condition that only true art can bring.

If you are called to be that prophet, be that prophet. Be the prophet that educates, be the patient prophet, be the prophet that perseveres. The saints of the history of art and their stories will sustain you.
