Poor Art<\/b><\/p>\n
Many modern novels, poems, and pictures which we are brow-beaten into appreciating are not good work because they are not work at all. They are mere puddles of spilled sensibility or reflection. When an artist is in the strict sense working, he of course takes into account the existing taste, interests, and capacity of his audience. These, no less than the language, the marble, or the paint, are part of his raw material; to be used, tamed, sublimated, not ignored nor defied. Haughty indifference to them is not genius nor integrity; it is laziness and incompetence. <\/p>\n

The Lord told Bezalel, the artist of the Tabernacle, to make the garments of the high priest, with their dazzling gems and elaborate design, \u201cfor glory and for beauty\u201d (Exodus 28:2 KJV). God\u2019s purpose for these particular works of Bezalel suggests a purpose for all of the arts–to glorify God and to manifest beauty. <\/p>\n
