While I agree with the creative aspect, we should be able to immediately recognize and appreciate art, without being artistic. Everyone enjoys Italian Renaissance paintings and sculptures, even if they know nothing about art. Art should elevate the real into the ideal, not shock, confuse, and depress. I really liked the Roger Scruton documentary "Why Beauty Matters." He really explains beauty & art well.
Oh my, Father Bonaventure Chapman's art story is both hysterical and so sad. It is so nice that is his family tried to protect his feelings. I feel bad about laughing so hard about that but it is pretty pretty darn funny. I feel a little bit bad but it gave me a very needed gut laugh😂 It must be very strange to be color blind but I guess if you don't know anything else🥺🤔
Those abandoned grain elevators? We did a trek to one once .... ran into paintballers, they repurposed it. Bursts of color and destruction, all in one. I lived in Buffalo from 2005-10, and totally miss the Albright-Knox. We lived on Richmond (parallel to Elmwood & thus better for ambulance speed). I remember the B52's played there, right about the time we were moving out. Can't remember when but as B.Perrone was moving out of his firehouse studio, he surrendered a bunch of A.Cohen's pieces, which we now have. "Approach" is in my living room -- I liked the Yves Klein-like blue in it.
I really liked the documentary about Marie Alain Couturier at the Rosary Chapel in Vence, France. The portrait of Saint Dominic that Henri Matisse did with Marie Alain Couturier as a model is one of my most favorite Saint images
I am less committed to the images former nun Yuri Pineda did with the Bang Brothers for porn. Museum Studies being what it is, I'd rather look at Dominican monks visited Andy Warhol, who was in my old parish. He painted The Last Supper in a way that the GAGOSIAN exhibited. The monks visited him. Henri Matisse is at MoMA of course.
Jesuit educated Axel Vervoordt just said that all art is contemporary at a certain level of viewing. He received an arts honor recently from France, I believe. I bought his book as he loves Christmas so much while referencing so much of my studies.
Roberto Ferri is one of my favorite contemporary artists. He paints in the Caravaggio style. Look for his Magnum Ice Cream advertising! Andy Warhol did Absolut Vodka, of course.
I’m starting to get the impression that there needs to be a long form version of these podcasts (pints with Aquinas or JRE style) that are less polite. I understand the educational telos of the podcast, but I think a Dominican vs Dominican debate over things like art, gendered souls, or Scotus would be fruitful (at least for me).
It seems that, that artist from the beginning fails to see that one necessarily adds their own influence im thoughts and experience when representing something. On the other side of the coin, in expressing our thoughts and emotions we necessarily draw on our interactions with the world. Knowingly or not, if we are not making from nothing, we are reshuffling something. It is all a matter of how far down the road to the abstract one is. We can not help be both embodied and ensouled, or rational and emotional. The time these fall away from each other, we call death. I enjoy both types of art but always look for actual beauty and something that adds to the soul in a truly beneficial way. Evil is poison and poison kills. I am not an artist though, I paint with words. Even when I try to make art, I end up making a narrative more than artwork.
Interesting perspective Fr. Bonaventure has on modern art near the end. I had never considered it through the lens of a fallen world.

I recently had the vegan Magnum bars for watching the King Charles coronation
Heady episode

When I throw various colors of paint on a tarp and everyone who sees it says Jackson Pollock! I maintain that’s not art.
How about you l osmos your podcasts
Oooo, like osmosis? That's good. Yeah😊
This is much too large a topic for the parameters of your program. You waste a lot of time before getting to the topic proper.
