What is the role of Art in the face of Terror and War?
Fonteyn Adorer replied to Alexandra's topic in Aesthetic Issues
The role of art in the wake of September 11 is unchanged from what it was before September 11! -
Following is an edited version of what I provided in my introduction: I have enjoyed the arts for more than half a century and once believed that ballet is an affected art form that merely supplemented music. My transformation to a ballet lover occurred at the ripe old age of 60+ years. As my log-in name might suggest, that transformation was a result of viewing a Fonteyn video (With Nureyev in Swan Lake)in which I came to appreciate grace, elegance, and the beauty of classical ballet.I really do adore Fonteyn. She's not dead--she merely returned to Olympus after gracing the earth for ~70 years.
