Description
This oil painting on canvas was completed 2002.
"We are all afraid -
for our confidence,
for the future,
for the world.
That is the nature of human imagination.
Yet every man, every civilisation, has gone forward because of its engagement with what it has set itself to do. The personal commitment of a man to his skill, the intellectual commitment and the emotional commitment working together as one,
has made The Ascent Of Man."
- - J. Bronowski, 1973
On September 11, 2001, thousands of innocent webs of light were crushed out by the plug ugliness of a mass archaic mentality.
Only the liberated spirit can breathe.
Ultimately, the Statue Of Liberty is a positive, enduring summary of that "pursuit" Thomas Jefferson envisioned for us.
A "happiness" perhaps never attained,
yet Liberty's abiding, persistent hand continues to hold high the upper level of the enlightened mind.
