The Temple Gallery has slowly begun its long arduous attempt at rebuilding. Its private publishing press, The Partisan Press which recently won an award will start its role of pamphletering and message distribution in a greater capacity with limited edition books on sale soon.
Those that see beyond their today, who have not been captivated by modernism's complete spin. You embrace history full on and appreciate the masters of art. You see the transcendental nature of beauty through the ages as it continues to raise its head. You have noticed it in the Greeks, at the Renaissance, in the Baroque and with the Neo- Classicists, the Nazarenes and the Victorians. You cannot escape the tethering beauty and wonder of art. And you have felt the inner swell of the divine. You may also have a part to play in the rebuilding of the temple. Just being here interested is the first step.Anybody else who lives not for air but the breath of beauty and the sound of the sublime.

I am at odds with the idiot box. Its dazzling pictures flick and flash and are so absorbing and yet so repulsive. It is my great nemesis, the paradox of my soul.
