Good Art

I'm a big fan of really, really good art. I think it honors our Creator - the original artist.

Watching the Grammy's last night, I saw some good art (like this, and this).

Some dismiss good art because the message that the art is bringing doesn't match up with their beliefs. I'm conflicted on this issue. Is it possible to appreciate, even embrace, the art while not necessarily endorsing the message? Or, do we have to throw the baby out with the bathwater?

Is it possible for God to redeem bad messages in beautiful art?

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. If you know of any really, really good art - send it my way!

The last guy is awesome.... an artist in thought more than in practice.
