How Will Stelle Preserve the Fine Arts?

 

Question:     What will The Stelle Group do about preserving the fine arts?

 

Answer:       We have to be resigned to the fact that the vast majority will be destroyed. However, our beautiful paintings would have deteriorated within a couple of centuries anyway. We do have photographs of them. Knowledge of the artistry will be preserved, but the originals, which of course have tremendous value as a collector’s item will probably be lost. The level of ad represented can nonetheless be kept in photographs and be duplicated over and over again.

 

Question:     Will you teach your children about art?

 

Answer:       Yes, they are taught appreciation of the fine arts. However, we are not trying to make them all artists per se; for when a person is an artist, there is no way to beat it out of him, and he will become one whatever he must overcome. That is what it takes to be a great artist. The ability to relate to ad materials is something that our children are exposed to. We will give the children the opportunities, but I guess we will have to wait for a Rembrandt to reincarnate into our Group. (09-1973)
