    C.S. Lewis on Art

    DateSunday, August 6, 2006 at 04:27PM

    ‘We must look, and go on looking, till we have certainly seen exactly what is there. We sit down before the picture in order to have something done to us, not that we may do things with it. The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way’

     I dare to say the same thing of the cross of Christ.
