The Unmasking The Unmasking “Any great work of art revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of it’s success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world—the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe it’s strange, special air” (Bernstein). An artist must create a different universe, one that surpasses culture, time, and personal philosophies. This new universe should surround and open a viewer’s eyes and lead to a new understanding of their own world. An example of genuine art is Diego Rivera’s painting “Mother’s Helper” (Rivera), which displays the simplicity of life without technology. It display’s the love of family, and nature, drives a person to appreciate the things around them. Upon reflection of true art, the viewer’s philosophy, their path to the truth, should be reworked, against society and the mold they came from. An existentialist who has always sought the truth through personal experience may come to the revelation that Jesus Christ displays the truth after being stirred by moving artwork. A pragmatist, who believed the end justifies the means, could realize that their pure form is in nature, as a transcendentalist (Newton). mccarthy, society, john, nature, huck, spanish, very, novel, horses, true, through, reader, novels, freedom, because, writing, raft, mexican, culture, being, after, world, truth, setting, peace, madero, life, evil, cormac, twain, time, skill, place, out, one
