	THE SEVEN LIVELY ARTS
		The seven lively arts are also featured in Canada's largest mural, in the Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts[iv] in Toronto.
		Consequently Freemasonry has tended to ignore and neglect the seven lively arts, thereby losing touch with much of the original vitality and taproots of meaning and creativity possessed by members of the fraternity in the 1700's.
		The seven lively arts of architecture, painting, sculpture, dance, drama, music and literature are important constituents of each human culture.

	Seven Lively Arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seven Lively Arts was a Sunday afternoon anthology television series produced by CBS television and executive producer John Houseman.
		The title was taken from the influential book of same name written by the cultural critic Gilbert Seldes, in which he argued that the low arts (comics, vaudeville) deserved as much critical attention as the high arts (opera, literature).
		Those interested in what was television's last (and only) show devoted to the arts, should consult: "KEITH BOTSFORD: The 'Seven Lively Arts': A Case-Study in Highbrow Television" in the Texas Quarterly, Winter 1959, V. II, no. 4.

	Henry Jenkins - Games, the New Lively Art
		Much as the salon arts of the 1920s seemed sterile alongside the vitality and inventiveness of popular culture, contemporary efforts to create interactive narrative through modernist hypertext or avant-garde installation art seem lifeless and pretentious alongside the creativity and exploration, the sense of fun and wonder, that game designers bring to their craft.
		The Seven Lively Arts as mapping an aesthetic of popular culture, one which is broadly enough defined to be useful for discussing a wide range of specific media and cultural practices including many that did not exist at the time he wrote the book.
		The great arts and the lively arts shared a common enemy, the “bogus arts,” the middle brow arts, which sought to substitute “refinement of taste” for “refinement of technique,” and in the process, cut themselves off from the culture around them.

	Arts Administration Master of Liberal Arts Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.
		The Master of Liberal Arts Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies provides motivated learners with the unique opportunity to synthesize a degree plan from the vast resources available at Boston University and its fifteen schools and colleges.
		The interdisciplinary MLA degree program is designed for students who believe that the exploration of the liberal arts is at the heart of the educational experience, and places central importance on an appreciation of the humanities, a lively exchange of ideas, and a reexamination of the enduring issues of world civilization.
		However, it is our belief that in the decades to come, a well educated professional in the work-force will be expected to have a broadly based grasp of human knowledge, be capable of original research at a graduate level, and to have a facility in comprehending the interrelationships between various spheres of intellectual inquiry.

	The Seven Liberal Arts
		A liberal art is a habitus, i.e., a quality enabling a faculty, e.g., the intellect, to act with promptitude, skill, ease and pleasure.
		We must be convinced that the goal of the liberal arts is not primarily to fit some one for the world (career-job) but to enable him to have access to true wisdom.
		Pius XII said (September 5, 1957): "A liberal arts education remains unequalled for the exercise and development of the most valuable qualities of the mind: penetration of thought, broadmindedness, fineness of analysis, gifts of expression." Not all of our students will be able to reach this level.

	The Arts as Modes of Communication (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		If Art is symbolic expression of feeling and idea in significant design--whether in language, colors, tones, wood, stone, steel, or other materials, singly or in combination, then they are art even though they may be qualitatively less "significant" in certain respects than a Picasso or a Stein.
		Art then seems to be not a pure or absolute quality, but a condition of the time, place, and circumstance of communication also, whether narrow communication or wide.
		Art loving Southerners might have changed the story if they had not come into conflict with these literal minded Yankees, but they did come into conflict and their love of art became a picturesque and alien legend, along with the society which had cultivated it.

		The connection has long been noted: in 1959, Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren mentioned the "vaudeville team" of Max and Al, and the "gag" and "dialogue" that remind the reader of their "unreal and theatrical quality."(1) The essay is, however, only the briefest of sketches on the subject.
		The expression "the seven lively arts," coined by Gilbert Seldes, was meant to include comics, dancers, and Krazy Kat - and to displace such bourgeois delights as grand opera.
		It was the fate of one of those lively arts, vaudeville, to wax and wane with modernism.

		In 1925, leading literary and arts critic Gilbert Seldes took a radical approach to the aesthetics of popular culture in a treatise titled The Seven Lively Arts.
		While these arts have gained cultural respectability over the past 75 years, each was disreputable when Seldes staked out his position.
		Readers then were skeptical of Seldes’ claims about cinema in particular for many of the same reasons that contemporary critics dismiss games—they were suspicious of cinema’s commercial motivations and technological origins, concerned about Hollywood’s appeals to violence and eroticism, and insistent that cinema had not yet produced works of lasting value.

		The Lively Arts: Gilbert Seldes and the Transformation of Cultural Criticism in the United States (Oxford University Press, 1996), by Michael Kammen (Newton C. Farr Professor of American History and Culture).
		In his 1924 book The Seven Lively Arts, Seldes (1893-1970) made the then-controversial claim that popular entertainment and culture should be treated just as seriously, and as rigorously, as the so-called high arts.
		The Moths and Other Stories (Arte Publico Press, 1995), by Helena Maria Viramontes (English) creates female characters of different ages whose lives are limited by patriarchal values in Latino society-social and cultural values particularly of family and church-and who struggle against it.

		In an art which is hard and bright and tends to glitter rather than radiate, he has a gleam of poetry; but he is like the best of poets because there are no fuzzy edges, no blurred contours; he is exact and his precision is never cold.
		It's interesting that Seldes has this definition of "technical sufficiency" as common to all arts, from the seven liberal arts to the seven major arts to the seven lively arts.
		This definition attempts to erase the question of "high art" versus "low art," as on page 3, when Seldes says that although slapstick had no pretensions to art, "people of culture" conceded that it was one.

		To set the record straight, Kammen has written the first Seldes biography, The Lively Arts: Gilbert Seldes and the Transformation of Cultural Criticism in the United States (Oxford University Press, 1996).
		But in The Seven Lively Arts, he presented a then-radical thesis: that vaudeville, musical revues, movies, jazz and comics should be taken as seriously as the ballet or the opera.
		He drew a sharp distinction between the flourishing of popular arts in the 1920s and the forcing of popular arts on the public en masse in the 1950s.

		With those who hold that a comic strip cannot be a work of art I shall not traffic...
		It happens that in America irony and fantasy are practised in the major arts by only one or two men, producing high-class trash; and Mr Herriman, working in a despised medium, without an atom of pretentiousness, is day after day producing something essentially fine.

		But although he was in some respects a shallow man who lived largely for personal pleasure, he was also a very driven and complex one, a man whose fame on the stage did not come easily and who faced a series of horrific hurdles in his private life.
		Porter risked his grandfather's ire--and the family fortune he controlled--by settling on a career in music, and while he earned early fame at Yale through his compositions, his first Broadway venture, See America First, was a humiliating fiasco.
		He had a wide circle of friends from among the cultural and literary elite but was an aloof, fastidious, secretive man. Porter was a hard man to know and this biography is about as close as we will ever get to the inner core of the composer.
