Manifestations of God's Wisdom: Art and Literature Videos

This video is a collection of photographs of the moon that I have taken in Platte County, Wyoming. These images are used to illustrate a poem that I wrote in 1970 that represented my philosophical musings about the astronauts' moon walk in 1969. The video is a reminder that we should take time to enjoy simple pleasures in our lives, like gazing at the moon and the stars, wherever we are.

This video displays some of my abstract paintings and self-portraits, along with quotations by both artists and writers about the creative process that are relevant to each of my works. The concepts of Motion and Time, as related to the creative process, are highlighted.

This video is a collection of still life drawings and paintings by Kathy A. Wittman, created over the past decade.

This video humorously presents an important topic for art students to consider in this postmodern world: Appropriation. It includes a definition of the term, with examples of appropriation of famous artworks, which illustrate the prevalence of this new art trend. It also considers the legal ramifications for artists who choose to appropriate ideas from other artworks.

This video presents a biographical sketch of Alec Soth, a famous American photographer. It includes a brief description of the meaning and significance that is conveyed through Mr. Soth's photographs. His pictures express the physical and social isolation that many people feel in this postmodern era. After sojourning across America seeking a sense of community in this vast country, Mr. Soth concludes: "Nobody really wants to be alone. People need people."

This video is an illustrated poem by Kathy A. Wittman, based on her father's unpublished memoirs about his experiences in Normandy, France, during World War II. It captures the pathos of war: its glory and its destruction. It reminds us all that our freedoms are never free!

This video presents a biographical sketch of Thomas Demand, a famous photographer who has created a tangible, visible connection between sculpture and photography. His creative process involves completing intricate, realistic reproductions of real life scenes from paper and wood, photographing them, then destroying the original sculptures. Such a unique approach has earned him an integral place in the modern and postmodern art worlds.
