“Art too is a gift of God. Just as the Lord himself is not truth and holiness alone but also glory, and one who spread the beauty His name abroad over all His Works, so it is He, too, who by His Spirit equips the artists with wisdom and understanding and knowledge in all manner of workmanship. (Ex 31:3 and 35:13) Art is therefore in the first place an evidence of man's ability to do and to make. The ability is spiritual in character and it gives expression to our deep longings.”
