Paul m. Gould on creating Beauty

Gould states:

Resist the temptation to value utility over beauty in what you make....If we seek beauty, along with goodness and truth in the things and the meaning we make in the world, and if we support those who are called to be artists as a vocation, then we will grow in our ability to see, understand, and praise God. Moreover, we will help the nonbeliever see that meaning and beauty find its source in Jesus and the gospel.
