Estoy profundamente agradecida al personal de Friends Journal<\/em> por hacer otro n\u00famero sobre las artes \u2014el primero desde 1979\u2014 y por involucrarme como editora consultora. Dado que Chuck Fager (p.9) ha cubierto la mayor parte de lo que podr\u00eda decir sobre la Fellowship of Quakers in the Arts, me siento liberada para hablar de c\u00f3mo vivo el ser artista y Amiga. <\/p>\n

La persona m\u00e1s responsable de que me convirtiera en Amiga fue mi t\u00eda cu\u00e1quera, Mary Loomis Wilson, pintora. Despu\u00e9s de que se convenci\u00f3 en la d\u00e9cada de 1950, vi su arte volverse cada vez m\u00e1s ligero, m\u00e1s alegre, m\u00e1s libre, m\u00e1s abstracto, m\u00e1s guiado por el Esp\u00edritu. Sin embargo, me dijo, unos a\u00f1os antes de su muerte en Foxdale en 1999, que hab\u00eda mantenido su cuaquerismo y su arte en cajas separadas hasta que pas\u00f3 los 80. <\/p>\n

Solo cuando empec\u00e9 a asistir a las reuniones de Amigos en Filadelfia hace 20 a\u00f1os me di cuenta de la hist\u00f3rica antipat\u00eda cu\u00e1quera hacia las artes. He estado trabajando para entenderlo desde entonces. Encuentro que los escr\u00fapulos y las ideas de los primeros Amigos merecen ser tomados en serio. Mi sensaci\u00f3n es que sus premisas eran v\u00e1lidas, pero que los l\u00edmites de las circunstancias hist\u00f3ricas y su visi\u00f3n del mundo del siglo XVII les llevaron a sacar conclusiones equivocadas. <\/p>\n

Las actitudes cu\u00e1queras liberales modernas hacia las artes est\u00e1n llenas de paradojas. Los Amigos integran el arte con el tejido de su vida com\u00fan en formas que son espont\u00e1neas, guiadas por el Esp\u00edritu, ef\u00edmeras y cooperativas. Todos son artistas; la excelencia est\u00e9tica no importa m\u00e1s de lo que importa al ministerio vocal. Los testimonios son importantes; el arte sirve a las funciones prof\u00e9ticas de decir la verdad, curar y celebrar. <\/p>\n

Todo esto es sano y bueno, hasta donde llega. Pero no es de mucha ayuda para el Amigo individual que se siente llamado a ser un artista serio, que ha trabajado duro para dominar un oficio. Parece haber una fuerte devaluaci\u00f3n de la excelencia art\u00edstica entre los Amigos; la idea de que uno ponga su energ\u00eda en dominar un oficio en lugar de en algo socialmente \u00fatil (como el servicio en un comit\u00e9) se ve como una obsesi\u00f3n poco cu\u00e1quera con trivialidades. <\/p>\n

Sin embargo, para muchos artistas cu\u00e1queros, el Esp\u00edritu significa la Musa. Espero a la Musa en el teclado. El proceso de creaci\u00f3n art\u00edstica es uno de Santa Obediencia, de di\u00e1logo continuo con el Esp\u00edritu. Estar aislado de mi arte es estar aislado de ese di\u00e1logo. <\/p>\n

Como Amigos, estamos llamados a vivir en las tensiones, a mantenernos conectados a ambos polos de un conflicto aparentemente irreconciliable, a resistir la tentaci\u00f3n de buscar la facilidad optando por uno u otro. Vivir en las tensiones es una manifestaci\u00f3n interna del Testimonio de Paz. Es el camino de la Cruz. <\/p>\n

Reconciliar lo irreconciliable es de lo que trata mi arte. Continuamente estoy tratando de decir al menos dos cosas mutuamente excluyentes a la vez. La lucha por encontrar maneras en que el medio me permita hacerlo es una manera en que yo \u2014para usar una frase cu\u00e1quera venerable\u2014 \u201cme mantengo en la cruz diaria\u00bb. Ser cu\u00e1quera y artista es otra. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
