Here you will find the world’s first sublimist Manifesto, a handbook to a way of creating Art that is, at once, entirely ancient and entirely new; a perfect marriage between the finite and the finite; and the most effective way to disclose the sublime Truth of life through Art.
In this essay I articulate, for the first time, the general profile of ‘Sublimism’, an art movement that is, at once, entirely new and ancient. In it, I put forth the idea that, in order to be great, an artwork must be technically proficient and metaphysically rich in equal measure, and that it must wilfully seek to convey the higher truth of life, or the ‘Sublime’.
The following is an excerpt from my work, “Art as Sublime”, in which I attempt to reconceptualize an ancient idea. Its bold thesis is that, far from an aesthetic incident, the Sublime is art’s very ‘telos'. “Art as Sublime” was published in 2023 in the short volume, “Sublimism: An introduction”.
In this vignette, I attempt to profile the Sublime, a topic I delve into more extensively in my essay, “Art as Sublime”, published here.
