The Reaches of Artistic Testimony

In this pilot episode, the foundation of the notion of “An Infinite Language” is explored. From the process of painterly seeing to Ozymandias and the enduring voice of the arts and the artist.Some highlights:Can you paint with words?The artistic voice is more enduring than absolute power. The everyday person has the power to tell, to convey and sculpt our notions of what happened.What voice carries on?Creative output is an infinite language, it cannot be relegated to, cannot be limited to solving the world’s problems. Art is not a for-hire form of expression that is only used for problem solving.What is the contrast between Ozymandias and the message in Emma Lazarus's poem on the Statue of Liberty? "The New Colossus" is a message of hope, a claim that the way of lifting up is the golden door. Other works discussed: Guernica by Picasso, David's the Coronation of Napoleon
