TERM OF ART – Driving People Mad

“NATURAL BORN CITIZEN”

(Jan. 3, 2020) — How would the world feel if 19 Academic Professors and U.S. Court Judges were caught spray-painting graffiti over the Mona Lisa, Statue of David, or even concocting their own version by scribbling some notes on Mozart’s Symphony No. 40? That is the profound reality of the savagery upon the United States Constitution’s requirement of ‘natural born Citizen’ for the Office of President in today’s Judicial Branch including the U.S. Supreme Court in the barbaric excuses not to honor the term of art and hear the case before them.

Alexandra Turney shared her experience at seeing David with an article in The Huffington Post as such:

[Once inside the Accademia, my apathy was transformed into wonder. When I stood in front of David I was instantly struck by his sheer size. He’s enormous – a larger than life superhero figure, somehow all the more beautiful for being out of proportion. Just like Botticelli’s Venus, with her disproportionate body and impossible pose, David represents an idealized yet unrealistic human body. He’s been sculpted with such skill that he seems physically perfect and lifelike, yet we’re also aware that he’s a 17 foot fantasy figure who could never exist in real life. Like all great works of art, David makes us marvel at the artist’s skill, even as we become even more acutely aware of the gap between art and reality.

I spent a while slowly circling the statue, looking at it from every angle. I admired the incredible attention to detail – the curve of his muscles, the outlines of his veins – and thought about how incredible it was, that Michelangelo had created something so perfect out of a block of marble once considered to be too flawed to be used. I thought about Michelangelo, still only in his twenties, working on the sculpture in secrecy for two years before it was unveiled to the public in Piazza della Signoria. If we’re amazed by David now, having seen his image countless times before we visit the Accademia, how much more amazing must David have been for the people of Florence in 1504?

Against all my expectations, seeing Michelangelo’s David in person was a profound experience…]

As we consider the reverence and beauty of art and how it affects us one might appreciate the delicate art of words and how profound the requirement found within the U.S. Constitution’s Article II., Section 1, Clause 5 originally demanded for only the Office of President, but later thought upon for good measure and becoming a requirement for the Office of Vice President.
