The Christian artist sees the body as a creation of God and he affirms its meaningfulness by showing in his delineations how full of grace or strength or beauty the body can be. The carnal-minded only see the body for what it can be used for in terms of dollars or sensual pleasure. They do not respect it as the temple of the Holy Ghost. No materialist philosophy will suffice to explain the body or enable one to truly perceive it. That image or projection created by the artist is a direct result of his appraisal through his soul and spirit.
Vision is a power of the soul and spirit so that no eye sees the same.
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold the wondrous things out of thy law. Art which comes not from blessed eyes is a curse and a scourge to the land. We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God. The destruction of the image of God in man in today's art is the greatest visual sign of the corrupt interior of many modern men's souls.
