Statement: Togetherness & Oneness into universal natural wonders and positive
spirit collaborated, and they produced the variety of life we observe today.
Cooperation continued to mark Artists works. We see this quality in the nature
building structure of the green paradise restoration day; the erecting, dismantling,
and moving of the mountain full of natural resources as universal artists and
journeyed in unity the beauty restoration wilderness; and even in the painting,
sculpting of paradise mountain and blending of colour in harmonious praise to
God's creation at his earthly paradise. All those endeavors depended on
ccooperation with togetherness. This pattern of working together characterized
the early art world congregation under its head, John Milton, & Vincent Van Gogh.
The Surrealist Bosh, Redon, Frida Kahlo, Yuko Nii explained that, even though
individual anointed artworld had “different gifts” and shared in “different art
movement” and “different activities,” all were part of “one body and togetherness
& oneness!
