@maisonrickie: Today, let’s talk about art as power. I always wondered why people in power put such an emphasis on art. All major forces of power understood how important it was to harness beauty and we explore that today. So much more coming from my trip in London as well as my time in Berlin so keep an eye out! Thank you to everyone in Berlin who’s reached out to me ❤️ your messages mean so much to me
Interestingly, in international relations it’s called “soft power”. I think it’s very well illustrated by this quote by Mario Quintana: “The secret is not to chase butterflies... It’s to take care of the garden so that they come to you.”

W. Somerset Maugham once wrote, "Art is a manifestation of emotion and emotion speaks a language that all may understand."

Rickie, I admire your way of presentation. Clear, not cluttered, very attention catching. Keep posting. As someone said, consider YT vids as well.

I have this strange sense, as if being too early to class. And yet it is my favourite 🤍

Beauty seems so low a priority these days though. So much awful design. Feels like it died in the 1980s when productivity, efficiency, utility started to dominate

It is a force but not the most powerful force, we have other immediate needs that art alone cannot feed
