will see the classes I love to teach. And, how immeasurably useful
Aesthetic Realism is to people's lives--including, so much, my own.
See my article on the loss of one's spouse. My essay 'I Believe this about
Acting' is some of what I learned about the art of acting and the human
self." And Eli Siegel's "Aesthetic
Realism; or, Is a Person an Aesthetic Situation?" is a wonderful short
explanation he gave to Lewis Nichols of the New York Times Book Review,

an interview.

the philosophy of Aesthetic Realism
as its critical basis.
David
M. Bernstein, Fine Art Photography Portfolio and articles
by this noted photographer and his colleagues. "I want people to have the
thrill and honor of learning from
Aesthetic Realism, as I so happily do, how the questions of our lives
are solved in art; how opposites such as immediate and permanent, logic
and emotion, dark and light are crucial in a photograph, and that we can
learn from art how to have these opposites truly composed in ourselves."
