"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral." --Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Beethoven: Art Has No Limits
Summer of 1812. A young artist named Emilie sends a letter to her favorite composer. And he responds. His response outlines his relationship to art, divine inspiration, and joy. Gavin Aung Than, illustrator and creator of Zen Pencils captures that response in his 15-panel comic "Ludwig Van Beethoven: Art has no Limits." Than highlights the most poignant lines from Beethoven's letter back to Emilie, reminding us that art, while revered and celebrated by others, is ultimately about our relationship to individual selves, and it is in the limitless expression of art, that we discover our voice.
