This noted American printmaker tells
why a Picasso master work in black and white has great beauty and also
shows what men hope to feel. He says, "In the philosophy of Aesthetic
Realism, Eli Siegel defined beauty for the first time and showed: All
beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is
what we are going after in ourselves." Power and tenderness are two
of those opposites. --http://www.AestheticRealism.org/News-ck.htm

The Aesthetic Realism teaching method
is based on the following principle of education by Mr. Siegel: "The purpose
of all education is to like the world through knowing it." The method
has been used with enormous success for over 25 years in New York City
public schools. It enables students to learn as never before and
to be kinder persons (K-12 and college). --

Lynette
Abel Writes on Women's Issues, Economics, and Literature
"In the spring a young man's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love," wrote the English poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Yet as spring begins, that sought-after, hoped-for thing, love, is still
a cause of much confusion and pain to men and women everywhere. -- Lynette
Abel, from The Ithaca
Journal

Ordinary Doom."

"In a class I had the honor to
attend in 1972, Eli Siegel spoke to me about why I felt so bad. He
asked: ''Do you think there is something that impels one to hope
one has had a good effect? Is there an imperative there? Do you think you
would feel bad if you felt you had a bad effect on anyone?' "
