Great art wakes us up. It reminds us of our higher nature and helps us find ways to express our own vision. It inspires us, makes us whole, and strengthens us to go back into the world and fight for what is true.
We need a way to judge art and hold artists accountable for what they create. The purpose of Beautiful Books is to promote and celebrate beautiful culture and art. Beautiful Books is a counterpart to Banned Books.
The intention of Beautiful Books is not to judge art. That is for each person to do on their own. Our goal is only to defend the idea that art has a purpose that is larger than itself.
Art can shatter as easily as it can create. Profane or obscene material shatters sensitivity to beauty. Culture can lift and inspire, inform and transform. Let us be a friend to beauty. Let’s make beauty visible to ordinary eyes.
This is Part 2 of a two part series on Modern Culture. Part 1 is understanding Our Moral Condition.
