Aesthetic Realism & the Moment by Eli Siegel
“It can be said that a moment is never only a moment, because how we do anything in a second is something which shows how our whole lives have been.”
Are You Proud of the Way You’re For & Against Things?
Reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism Lesson
“When you are displeased, do you want to be proud of how you’re displeased?” —Eli Siegel
Botticelli & What Will Make You Happy
“One way, I learned, I had invited unhappiness for myself was by the false lightness of mocking. In Botticelli’s painting, as in all art, lightness is arrived at through honoring substance and meaning.”
Contri. $10
