A year or so ago I ran across a podcast of a course by Hubert Dreyfus on Existentialism in Literature and Art . I had always been interested in existential philosophy, but I just could not understand what it was all about. In short - my logical thinking was in the way. Through Kierkegaard I learned about the leap of faith, and the knight of faith and I was hooked. From there I went to Dostoyevsky and the novel I could never get through — The Brothers Karamazov . It took me almost a year! My 30 foot painting Brothers Karamazov chronicles my reading. Logic is no longer on my list of necessities for good painting. I now have faith — but not in a God.
