About the author: A good friend of Ashland artist Sarah F. Burns, David Dorsey is an author and freelance writer who has been painting longer than he’s been writing. He decided, in 2006, to focus primarily on visual art and begin exploring the nature of painting, by both doing it and writing about it. He’s the author of The Force (Random House) and The Cost of Living (Viking), and numerous articles for national magazines. His award-winning paintings have been exhibited at museums, galleries and universities in the United States and Europe. We've syndicated David's excellent blog at Sarah's request so we can all enjoy his well written insights on the world of art.

Meanwhile, as he puts it, “I do Art…I feel that the urge to do science is driven by an urge to discover new facts about the world. That search for novelty–in science a search for true new truths and in art a search for new images, beautiful new things–is the same underlying drive.” Continue reading A Nobel Prize winner’s vision of beauty By Art Works, 329 contributed posts
