The primary purpose of life is to achieve a growth of
consciousness. It follows that the principle aim of art is to see the
world anew. . . The profound preoccupations that inspired Modern Art
during the early part of the last century are now once again, for more and
more people, coming back but they are finding expression in deeper levels
of consciousness. . .
Modern Art, with its deep insights from the Open Mind, as far as the
general public was concerned, went underground, where it has remained
until recently, when the present world conditions demand, on pain of human
extinction, a new attitude towards the world, a deeper respect for
interdependence of humankind with nature which implies the need for a
deeper way of seeing the world in which we live. . . In the paintings of
Inner Realism, aspects of the invisible become visible. . . Inner Realism
is the quest of the Inner Worlds of the conscious Mind Shared By All. . .
Inner Realism happens through spontaneous painting. . . Every pioneer
painter, through spontaneous painting, has a chance to make a unique
contribution."
