Even as believers we try so very hard to change. After a tragic event and in a time of trial we become more desperate to get His attention. We live in a time where we LONG FOR HIS PRESENCE in every day and every situation.
After ww2, new artists emerged, as the attention moved to USA. The war had devastated so much and it was time to start again. Does this familiar. The thinking behind painting at this time had not actually changed much. Jackson pollock Mark Rothko emerged as really just two sides of the same coin.But there art appeared to be so different. Pollock believed in the thinking of CARL JUNG who believed more in the occult side of dream interpretation. Rothko was influenced by Nietzsche who claimed that GOD WAS DEAD.
I use all these examples for us to look at the parallels to our own lives and to look at what goes on around us.
So, by 1950, something new was stirring in terms of art style, although it was not new in terms of influence.
We too when faced by devastating circumstances can want to change. We must admit that we are need of A SAVIOUR because we are unable to really change. The heart needs to change. WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
God has longed to show us the fulfil extent of His love for us, yet He has had to stand back and let us suffer. This seems so unfair but let us be honest about how many times we have chosen our own way and chosen to readjust our lives to make them seem better.
Creative people can be very sensitive but also tend to be very inward looking. LETS GET HEALED.
