The role of the artist I now understood as that of revealing through the world-surfaces the implicit forms of the soul, and the great agent to assist the artist was the myth.
It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life.
Myths are the world’s dreams. They are archetypal dreams and deal with great human problems. Myths and dreams come from the same place. They come from realizations of some kind that then have to find expression in symbolic form.
A real artist is the one who has learned to recognize and to render… the ‘radiance’ of all things as an epiphany or showing forth of the truth.
Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)
American mythology professor, writer, and lecturer best known for his work in the fields of comparative mythology and comparative religion.
