Voices for the World Voices of Peace, Vol.VI and The Living Arts West By Northwest.org He'll be coming to the West Coast this August, 2002. Meet Skip Schiel, a remarkable artist and activist with his camera. We can't call him "just" an East Coast photographer. He travels the world with his camera incorporating his deeply held beliefs with Art for Art and Truth's Sake A Brief Look at the Beautiful and Bountiful Work of Skip Schiel, Photographer and World Activist An ongoing debate in the art and academic world has spun around the question, can fine art be universal for all peoples and times if it is political? Or need we make and respect art for art's sake, above the fray? Explore Skip Schiel's web site and you may come to the conclusion that the debate is moot. Good art can be both. Indeed some might say, must be both. Think of any great art without its context and purpose and you wipe out centuries of human endeavor -- M.G.
