From the Fountainhead to the Future by Alexandra York
The American
author Alexandra York writes an essay From the Fountainhead to the Future with
the express intention of outlining in which works of art and ideas must be
promoted and championed if we are to create an American Renaissance at the
start of the new millennium. She urges those who love life and the art that
enhances living to enjoy and enrich our moments on this earth through art
experiences that lift our spirits, move us to contemplative thought, and remind
us why life is worth living. She also spurns nostalgia and advocates
revitalizing the fundamental tenets of our philosophical heritage by
incorporating contemporary art created in the established Western heritage
visual arts.
The struggle for the adoption of great new ideas
in human civilization is the theme of The Fountainhead, which has become a
modern classic and is still used as an example today. The Fountainhead has come
to be regarded as one of the greatest works of American literature.
