Art: A Partial Expression of God* By Dorothy Dobbins This a passage of an article by Dobbins quotes in an article in The Theosphist “Art is an archetypal conception in the mind of God; and the nearer to the archetype, the more beautiful is the artistic creation. The artist, being more sensitive to the soul of things than ordinary people, brings out in his art that which was not clearly manifest in the form he reproduces; he becomes a bridge, so to speak, between heaven and earth, over which comes to humanity a beauty that is God’s life—manifest. Thus Art may be defined as a partial expression of God as beauty.”
