Von Händler/Antiquariat, Antiquariat Willi Braunert [54762924], München, Germany.
308 pp Art has always served to stabilize man`s psychological immune system, a system that helps him to cope with his fate and the certainty of death as well as to weather life`s crises more or less unscathed. We weep at magic moments in the opera for the sake of something lost: the Sublime, the Beautiful, the Absolute. Mokka Müller reclaims that lost something through the portal of art, which serves as an arrow of longing and a saving handle. She cites many - at times quite intimate - examples from the world of art and lives of artists to describe the tractive forces that influence us from above and to explain why all life is on a path leading upwards. Mokka Müller reveals the sometimes counterintuitive lessons that art has in store for us. Conventional forms of wisdom can be a hindrance to the extraordinary - and to happiness. Pursuing a specific goal often means detouring around what is quintessential and great. The individual only progresses by means of contact with the sublime. Today the sublime is the ethical imperative: in a materialistic, egotistical culture obsessed with money, we need to seek a compass and anchor in order to save ourselves. Art provides both, not only by owning it, but by striving for it through learning and self-education - the ultimate intruments of distincition. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 0, Books.
