All Art is a gift of the Holy Spirit. When this light shines
through the mind of a musician, it manifests itself in beautiful harmonies.
Again, shining through the mind of a poet, it is seen in fine poetry and poetic
prose. When the Light of the Sun of Truth inspires the mind of a painter, he
produces marvellous pictures. These gifts are fulfilling their highest purpose,
when showing forth the praise of God."
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a talk, quoted by Lady Blomfield in "The Chosen Highway"; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. III, The Importance of Arts in Promoting the Faith)
