TAILIEUCHUNG - AESTHETIC REALISM, ART, and ANTHROPOLOGY: Or, JUSTICE to PEOPLE

We have learned that the way to know a person fully, is to see that person aesthetically: as trying to put opposites together. The opposites of the world are in us and relate us to everyone and everything else. We have in us the Energy and Repose of reality—a reality with volcanoes and quiet, moonlit lakes. We are Center and Circumference like the solar system, pulled toward the sun yet circling in space. We have Concentration and Expansion like an egg with a chick in it, about to hatch out. We are a study in Sameness and Difference like a snowflake, a six-pointed star like all. | AESTHETIC REALISM ART and ANTHROPOLOGY Or JUSTICE to PEOPLE By Marcia Rackow and Arnold Perey . Published in International Conversations through Art Proceedings of the 31st InSEA World Congress 2002 Prabha Sahasrabudhe Editor Center for International Art Education Teachers College Columbia University New York 2003 We are very proud to present today what we have learned from the philosophy Aesthetic Realism about what beauty is and why this explanation is needed by the world for people to be just to one another at last. This landmark principle All beauty is a making one of opposites and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves was stated by Eli Siegel the American poet critic and educator who founded Aesthetic Realism. It is the basis of the museum art and anthropology classes we teach together. And this principle we ve seen is the means for people to have large emotions from the art of every continent including styles unfamiliar to them and to see people of other cultures with authentic depth and kindness. Our students were deeply moved as we were for example by a bronze flutist from Benin Nigeria a Haida mask of western Canada a Mayan god of Central America as we saw how in the very purpose and structure of art such opposites as sameness and difference surface and depth the intimate and the wide hard and soft are made one. And these are the very same opposites we are trying to put together in ourselves. Through the opposites we see our true kinship to peoples far away in place and time. We are Marcia Rackow an artist and Arnold Perey an anthropologist and are consultants on the faculty of the Aesthetic Realism Foundation. Both of us are honored to have studied with Mr. Siegel whose centenary is being celebrated this year including in Baltimore MD where he grew up. His birthday August 16th was designated Eli Siegel Day by the mayor and by the governor. We re proud to study now in classes taught by Ellen Reiss the Class Chairman of .
