a portrait three quotes:
Solaris (ibid.)
"Nobody knows what beauty is. The idea that people make the beauty, the very concept of beauty change over the course of history along with philosophical pretensions and easy development of man in his personal life. And this leads me to think that, indeed, beauty is the symbol of something else. But what exactly? Beauty is a symbol of truth. I'm not saying in the sense of contradiction "truth / lie", but in the sense of the path of truth, that man chooses "
....
" From the very moment when Eve ate the apple tree of knowledge, humanity was sentenced to a endless search for truth. First of all, as we know, Adam and Eve realized they were naked and ashamed. Ashamed because they understood and began its journey from joy to get to know each other. This was the beginning of what has no end ... It so happened that the man, this "crown of nature" appeared on earth in order to know why he / she appeared or was sent. And by the Creator of man knows himself. This path is usually called evolution, a journey that is accompanied by excruciating process of self-knowledge "
...
"Through art, man appropriates reality through a subjective experience. In science, human knowledge of the world proceeds along the steps of a stairway endlessly, and was subsequently replaced by new knowledge about it that often are refuted each other in the name of objective truths details. The discovery of art, however, is born each time as a new and unique in the world, as a hieroglyphic of absolute truth. It comes as a revelation, as a passionate desire to grasp intuitively, and suddenly all at once the laws of the world - its beauty and its horror, his humanity and his ferocity, its infinity and its limitations. The artist expresses creating an artistic image that is a sui generis to grasp the absolute. By means of the image remains the perception of infinity where it is expressed through the constraints: the spiritual through the material, thanks to the limitless boundaries "
