PARADOXICAL 'FALL'
The
degeneration of church art
From
the heights of Catholic religiosity
To
the depths of Protestant secularity
Was
paralleled by the elevation of state art
From
the depths of Romantic secularity
To the heights of Classical light artistry.
By
contrast to painting, light art most definitely
Signifies
a 'fall', as from wavicle realism
To
particle materialism, but one significant of
A
progression from atoms to electrons,
And
thus commensurate with the proletariat
Rather than the bourgeoisie.
