The Principle Of Parsimony Is Valid Esthetically In That The Artist Must Not Go Beyond What Is Needed For His Purpose.

No Longer Can We Consider What The Artist Does To Be A Self-contained Activity, Mysteriously Inspired From Above, Unrelated And Unrelatable To Other Human Activities. Instead, We Recognize The Exalted Kind Of Seeing That Leads To The Creation Of Great Art As An Outgrowth Of The Humbler And More Common Activity Of The Eyes In Everyday Life. Just As The Prosaic Search For Information Is "artistic" Because It Involves Giving And Finding Shape And Meaning, So The Artist's Conceiving Is An Instrument Of Life, A Refined Way Of Understanding Who And Where We Are.

But Art Not Only Exploits The Variety Of Appearances, It Also Affirms The Validity Of Individual Outlook And Thereby Admits A Further Dimension Of Variety.

Climbing Is A Heroic Liberating Act; And Height Spontaneously Symbolizes Things Of High Value, Be It In The Value Of Worldly Power Or Of Spirituality. To Rise In An Elevator, Balloon, Or Airplane Is To Experience Being Liberated From Weight, Sublimated, Invested With Superhuman Abilities. In Addition, To Rise From The Earth Is To Approach The Realm Of Light And Overview. Therefore The Negative Overcoming Of Weight Is At The Same Time The Positive Achievement Of Enlightenment And An Unobstructed Outlook.
