520 _a"The Profanity of Paint" by William Kiddier is a philosophical exploration of art and creativity written in the early 20th century. This text functions as a treatise that reflects on the nature of painting, the role of the artist, and the profound relationship between color and emotion. Kiddier, embracing a romanticist perspective, articulates a vision of art that transcends mere representation and seeks deeper truths that resonate with the human experience. In this thought-provoking work, Kiddier engages in introspection about his journey as a painter, describing moments of awe and humility in the presence of nature, particularly trees, which he reveres as worthy subjects that defy his attempts to capture their essence on canvas. He critiques conventional approaches to art education that focus solely on technique rather than fostering the innate qualities of the artist. Instead, he suggests that true artistic expression stems from a profound connection to color as a spiritual entity that embodies change and movement. Throughout the chapters, he muses on the unpredictability of inspiration, the relationship between the artist and society, and challenges the idea of artistic intent in pursuit of a so-called 'masterpiece', advocating instead for authenticity in creation and a deep respect for the inherent beauty of the world.
