Amanson on art.

"Art" is all about perspective. Not the perspective within a painting - distance's illusion - but the perspective on life it affords art's observer. To witness the sprawl of life organized into absorbable patterns gives a person a perspective on life, a relatable reference that serves the person well in their pursuit of understanding, their attempt to become more comfortable with life's cross-currents: converging and conflicting storylines, people and places and ambitions and attitudes, brothers and sisters fighting for necessities in a struggle that seems random, haphazard, but when glimpsed within the metaphor of a frame - Creation recreated through the consciousness of a fellow human being - begins to make sense, does not seem so overwhelming. Life becomes relatable.

Stories, literature, repeat this process, although there stories are painted with words on the canvas of the mind, a mind put to good use as it examines and ponders human behaviour, histories, concepts, thanks to an author's well-considered reflections on humanity. Observing (analyzing) a character's behaviour from the safety of one's private thoughts allows the mind to glimpse its own prejudices, its own propensities and desires, and to see where that mind narrows and where it may perchance broaden if given enough impetus, enough inspiration to do so.

So yes, life is indeed contained within a picture's frame, a camera's lens, the covers of a book, but distilled to its essence; which in turn points us once again to God's own literary device: Beauty, Truth and Goodness, the metaphors through which we discern the original Artist, the greatest Artist of all, the one - and I do mean One - behind all of life.

Suffice it to say, there is more to Art than meets the eye.
