An Arising
| Paul Scott Malone |
Abstract Paintings in Oil
| "...Art is not elaborate technique, and art is not the quest of beauty. It is the vanguard of life, scouting, pioneering, reaching into the unknown, into that which is not yet amenable to law. It is the thrill of wonder, the gaze from a peak in Darien, the road to Xanudu, the dim Ultima Thule, the solemn joy of voyaging through strange seas of thought alone. It is a venture |
| beyond organized truth, beyond acknowledged virtue, beyond recognized beauty, and ... beyond the dreary dailiness which usurps the name of life. Art, thus interpreted, spurns patterns, standards, values: words which of their very nature are essentially philistine. Thus it cannot exist save for its own sake only. Whoever looks primarily to the true, the good, or the beautiful, with art merely as a mode of approach, is turning his back on the reality of art." |

| To arrest, for the space of a breath, the hands busy about the work of the earth, and compel men entranced by the sight of distant goals to glance for a moment at the surrounding vision of form and colour; of sunshine and shadows ; to make them pause for a look; for a sigh, for a smile -- such is the aim, difficult and evanescent, and reserved only for a very few to achieve. But sometimes, by the deserving and the fortunate, even that task is accomplished. And when it is accomplished -- behold! -- all the truth of life is there: a moment of vision, a sigh, a smile -- and the return to an eternal rest. Joseph Conrad |
| Please see the navigation bars at the far left of any page on the web site for links to particular locations, such as "Contact" or "Just Dance! ...," most of which contain a particular series of paintings and information on the paintings. While at a site, click on the "thumbnail" for a larger image. |
| The paintings here, on the "Home" page, in this one gallery room, so to speak, do not link to the paintings on other pages in An Arising but they can all be found elsewhere on the pages of the site. |
