From Paul Klein’s ArtLetter July 10th:
As in touch as I like to think I am with what’s going on here artistically, I’m constantly impressed with how much new talent I discover. Not only that, I think it is important to acknowledge that they are many mid-career artists here who continue to make the best work of their lives, often while guiding, teaching or mentoring. (via ArtLetter 7 10 09
)
Note: As much as I’d like to think I was in the “new talent” catagory, I think I’m probably in “mid-career artist.”

This separation of fact from meaning is secularism. We divide the world easily into a world of faith and meaning on one hand and into the world of facts on the other. The results is an a-moral treatment of matter. Ultimately it denies the person, for the body is also reduced to its material components. Certainly it produces a mentality of irresponsibility, for there is no one to whom we must explain the use of matter.
