Hermann Hesse: “Art Was a Union of the Father and Mother Worlds”

Photographer Unknown, (The Artist in His Studio)

“Art was a union of the father and mother worlds, of mind and blood. It might start in utter sensuality and lead to total abstraction; then again it might originate in pure concept and end in bleeding flesh. Any work of art that was truly sublime, not just a good juggler’s trick; that was filled with the eternal secret, like the master’s madonna; every obviously genuine work of art had this dangerous, smiling double face, was male-female, a merging of instinct and pure spirituality.”

-Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

–Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass

Photographer Unknown, (Six Views with One Red Rose)

“Feeling at peace, however fragilely, made it easy to slip into the visionary end of the dark-sight. The rose shadows said that they loved the sun, but that they also loved the dark, where their roots grew through the lightless mystery of the earth. The roses said: You do not have to chose.”

-Sunshine, 2003
