There is a notion among artists today that one should let his subconscious speak rather [than] allow the intellect to direct one's art production. I recall, yrs. [years] ago, one of the professors at the Univ. of Iowa urging us graduate art [students] to visit a newly installed exhibit in the University art gallery. His closing admonition to us was that "... we were "...to park our minds and intelligence at the gallery door, enter, and to let our emotions speak." Only in this way, he said, "...would we understand what the artist was aiming at." Too much art produced today by-passes the mind with the result that we have 'automatic painting' and 'kinesthetic jerkery' as well as the exteroceptive sensory response [action painting], that is, soul writing of the inner man. Of course allowing emotions & one's feelings to enter into a work of art is not wrong, indeed desirable, provided it is correctly proportioned to a legitimate end. It becomes wrong when the emotions become the guiding directrix of one's actions. We see the disastrous results of this aberration in daily life, e.g., the angry man who lets his emotions override his reason; the result, murder; or the girl who indulges her emotions whose end result is pregnancy-followed, in some instances, with murder - by way of abortion. REASON is man's highest faculty, his most precious to which all else must bow. Nothing is above reason; neither government, party, not even God who created that reason and who gave man that other gift FREEDOM of choice - even to abuse his reason and thus to to allow a lower faculty, feelings, to dominate REASON, man's highest faculty. Emotions, wonderful God given gifts - should enter into each art expression but never at the expense of reason - a much higher gift - if not man's hightest. Art is not freedom from discipline, but disciplined freedom.
