11/11/19-11/15/19 Devo Two - The Art of Truth
This is the second devotional for the week of November 11-15. The University of Notre Dame attracts scientists, scholars and artists
from all fields to pursue truth in their varied disciplines. Renowned
Russian artist Maxim Kantor reflects on his work and his fellowship at
the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study, an interdisciplinary
community of researchers. He is thoughtful and raises some good questions. May these
devotions be encouraging and inspiring for you. Watch this
video and let us know what you

Listened to the video- didn't really get much out of it. So I looked up the artist- and read about him. I enjoyed what he had to say about the purposes of art. "art is not just a place where eyes or ears can be amused; it’s also a place where the mind can be challenged and the spirit uplifted." He emphasized that art is not only ascetic, but can convey messages- given his background of oppression, and being a rebellious artist- he found that the subject of social oppression was his message- Karen Dequine
ReplyDeleteWhat an artistic video, loved getting an insight into this mans life and an insight into art. I love when he said, if art if real, if art is responsible, that art is important and has a great impact on people's lives we should include it into lecture and college lessons. This man lives on art, he believes it's the essence of life and basis of truth to be shared at Universities and to all young ages. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteHe verbalizes what all artists know innately: our circumstances inform our Art. Some circumstances have a heavier affect than others, as in Kantor's situation. We have to remember that knowing what's right, what is true, is not always the easy path.
ReplyDeleteIt is always fascinating to hear how people lived and how they survived under the oppression of the Soviet Regime. It is sad that this artist had to come to the realization at a young age that his art would never be seen. Praise the Lord that he is now not living under that. I love how he emphasizes how positive thinking is something that may save the world, of course, besides Jesus, but coming from his perspective, very powerful.
ReplyDeleteArtists are an interesting bunch by nature. I feel confident in that statement given my occupation. I think it's important that creativity and the process of creating is remembered as a gift from God, the ultimate creator.
