New audio download released! – “Art as Commitment”
A talk by John Diamond, M.D.
In this revelatory statement, Dr. Diamond reexamines the nature of creativity through the notion of commitment. Experiencing any act of high creativity – whether a painting, a piece of music, a photograph, or a poem – impels us to commit ourselves to it. And the work’s power reflects how much of the artist’s deeper self he has committed to it.
