Nancy Huntting, Aesthetic Realism Consultant

Nancy Huntting, Aesthetic Realism consultant, writes: The basis of “Emphasis, Art, & Ourselves” is some of the greatest seeing in human thought: the seeing by Eli Siegel that “All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.” Two of art’s opposites, and… Read more

Steve Weiner, Aesthetic Realism associate

Steve Weiner, computer specialist and Aesthetic Realism associate, writes: Dickens at his deepest and largest, and life in America today: what is the relation between them?
