138: Exploring The Art Spirit by Robert Henri

In this episode, Stephanie is fresh off a relaxing vacation and excited to share reflections on a profound book she was given. The Art Spirit, written by Robert Henri in 1923, describes his philosophy on life and art. He beautifully articulates many of the same principles that resonate both personally and professionally with Stephanie and Spark. Among these, is that master works of art are created when we glimpse beyond the surface level of life and are able to put into form what we have seen. Like Spark, Robert Henri believed that every single person had the capacity to be in touch with the deeper part of themselves and thus everyone can be an artist. According to Henri, the most critical part of being an artist is this connectedness to your true self. Tune in and perhaps be inspired to bring out the artist in yourself this summer!
