Reply to "There is no longer a sacred art - Gurdjieff quote"

Thank you Teo.

Even though Gurdjieff wrote the quote years ago I think it applies today.

Creators and craftsmen of fine quality items are disappearing because the public wants mass produced junk. Many are not even aware of the beauty of rare quality products. People don't want to pay for genuine artwork, even though many artists are willing to sell their artwork for very low prices in order to buy the basic necessities of life.

In this age of overuse of cellphones, computers and living in the fast lane in order to make more and more money, who has time or appreciation for genuine artwork?

I think that it is equally difficult to find a cobbler to make a beautiful pair of shoes which I definitely consider to be artwork.

I don't want to sound negative, but we are in the boffing arena and you did post the quote.
