{PRETITLE} The Art Spirit {POSTTITLE}

The Art Spirit is the best book about art ever written.

Since "The Art Spirit" was given to me by my girlfriend's mother in high school (what was her name?),
it has ridden my shelves, and my hands- as I have given it and bought it many times. I read it to my students weekly. It is the essential and quintessential hearthplace wherein the flaming art spirit of Robert (Cozad) Henri ("Hen-rye"- his preferred mispronounciation- how American!) still lives. How often, even in dreams, have I intoned, "Art, when really understood, is he province of every human being".?

To be clear: ALL ARTISTS SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF "THE ART SPIRIT".

Like many of the best "books", The Art Spirit (TAS) was not written by Henri, nor was meant to be published necessarily- I think of van Gogh's heartwrought letters to brother Theo, Hammarskjold's hidden diary while Sec. General of the UN; "Markings", and of Gerard Manley Hopkins' groundbreaking poems published by friend Robert Bridges years after his death. One of RH's students took good notes- and in spite of all else, published them! Thank God for all of us!

It , TAS, has comforted, consoled, angered, made me cry, inspired, and taught philosophy, skills, and
design/color fundamentals for more than 30 years of my life as an artist and teacher. Henri was, perhaps, our country's greatest art teacher- look at all those he directly taught, as well as all those he has indirectly (me, etc.) taught. And I pass it on to mine- nearly every day- along with many others. Manifesting the elusive fire of "being", which Henri worked to capture as he painted what he called, "my people", is still the core of the visual experience as it becomes art. We contain it- but it is elusive and difficult to see much less paint . You are "my people".
