This was sent by my mother in law this morning.
I entered the world of fine art painting at the age of eighteen. I am a woman of the age of ninety five. In 1948 I walked into the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art which was affiliated with Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. I graduated in 1952, which goes back a number of years.
The art world was already in the hands of the revolutionary world as I saw it then and see it now. I no sooner opened the door of the art school I was greeted with the socialist, communist line. The few but well read students in the communist party never gave us a rest, they followed us everywhere, constantly pushing their agenda. Telling us we would never amount to anything without their help. That we would never amount to anything In the world of art because they already had their people in the positions in the upper places who could help or hinder us. These people have taken over our universities, colleges, schools etc. since those days. Still using the same line to get their point across. I joined them for awhile which I soon regretted. I managed well without them but they often would not let me enter art shows and things of that sort. When they would not let me into a group I would say, “ why not? I am an artist and my work is good” they would agree, my work was great but they claimed I lacked a artistic personality which means I was not a liberal, socialist or a communists. One just has to go into a Modern Museum of Art to see the crap that is considered art. The modern "White on White" could be done by any third grader with no talent at art. Pouring paint down a ladder can be done by anyone who can stand on a ladder and pour paint without falling off the ladder. No training in the art world involved. etc.
I believe we are standing at the beginning of a new era. People are waking up and after all the baloney that went on with the election, the churches. the government etc. the tide is in the process of awakening. It may not be that noticeable on the surface but it is there The big wigs are struggling, trying to hold their line. They are censoring our speech, our thoughts, our actions but God is with us and we will win. The Renaissance in the world of art, music, theology, literature is on the brink of entering our world again. Faith and religion will open new doors again. Missions, Hospitals, Churches Charities will once more be run by saints and good people. We are just a brink away from a chaste and pure world again. Keep praying and the future. Is in sight. God always wins at the end.
wow, please take the time to record her thoughts on her life. Must be really cool having someone like that to talk with?
