The Artist’s Struggle for Integrity

Insights on the condition of being an artist, the reasons why an artist is compelled to live, and cannot settle. That choices are made consciously and necessarily for oneself. Distrust of words with an imprecise meaning, and why. Intimate knowledge that a promise unfulfilled is not an option, cannot be an end in itself. About coming into being. Effort. Legitimate suffering & the kindling of light, both. First recommended by LaMont Hamilton in 2013. I come back to the 30 mins (approx.) broadcast of Baldwin’s talk at New York City’s Community Church in 1962, regularly and most likely for ever.
