Art’s Aim: to prepare a person for death
January 7th, 2008
I came across a post on Stuart Clem’s blog from Sculpting in Time: Tarkovsky The Great Russian Filmaker Discusses His Art
“The alloted function of art is not, as often assumed, to put across ideas, to propagate thoughts, to serve as example. The aim of art is to prepare a person for death, to plough and harrow his soul, rendering it capable of turning to good.”

J. K. Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard Collector's Edition
This Collector's Edition (available exclusively at Amazon) designed to evoke the spirit of the handcrafted original purchased at auction last December. Housed in its own slipcase--made to resemble a wizarding textbook found in the Hogwarts library--this Collector's Edition includes metal corners, clasp, and skull; a reproduction of J.K. Rowling's handwritten introduction; commentary on each of the tales by Professor Albus Dumbledore; and 10 additional illustrations not found in the Standard Edition (or the original).
