  Romantic Love

Romantics are generally happy with their partners and their love lives (Cunningham and Antill, 1981).
People in romantic marriages exhibit high levels of initiative and are aware of complex motivations coupled with a willingness to entertain and process alternative explanations for relationship events.

 Romantic Realism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Even such a quintessential romantic as Delacroix, when hailed as the "Victor Hugo of painting," could retort, "Sir, I am a pure classicist!" Nevertheless, one attribute of romanticism is unchanging: a romantic (whether in art or in life) is one who love emotions.
Like his nineteenth century forbearers, today's romantic uses form (the physical presentation) to communicate content (human values) through individual style (emotional expression), thereby making the means and the end merge, blend and re-emerge as one totality of experience that unifies mind, body, and soul.
Romantic Realists do not deny and may even dramatize human struggle, suffering or absurdity, but if they choose to explore the underbelly of life, the best of them do so with a higher purpose.

Ayn composed "The Romantic Manifesto" forty years ago, just when the "modern art" movement (led by antichrist Andy Warhol) was taking over.
"The Romantic Manifesto" is the most important book ever written on the philosophy of positive art because it challenges the naturalistic tentacles of modern art and provides a blueprint to the only machine that can destroy big brother's army.

Romantic art shows that in action, and it is a crucial lesson.
To a child, the world is a great adventure, full of vast but unknown potential: and too easily, their view of the world and of their own potential can be distorted or crushed by the ugly, the arbitrary and the cruel.
This last is the premise of the Romantic school of writing, which deals, above all, with human values and, therefore, with the essential and the universal in human actions, not with the statistical and the accidental.

Technically, The Romantic Manifesto is not about the mechanics of writing but about the philosophy of art, but it still manages to cover most of the MICE mechanics, explain what the problem is with sci-fi and touch on Rand’s own motivation for writing - all on the side, as it were, of her aesthetic philosophy.
Science fiction, she claims, is a mixture of the good (Romantic) and the bad (Naturalistic) tendencies of the novel.
An sf plot is always Romantic (idealized, with plenty of action, a notion of good and evil, and heroes working towards the good) but the characters tend to be Naturalistic Everymen swept along by external events, sketchily drawn with little psychological consideration.

 What Is Architecture?
Both Rand's Romantic Manifesto and this recent book are important because art itself is so crucially important to human life, and because the field has been overrun by quacks and charlatans.
Second, The Romantic Manifesto was a passionate call to arms for romantic realism in art - this book cries out for the same passion, or any at all; indeed it cries out for the sense-of-life exposition of art that this sense-of-life subject demands.
Rand's own book on art on which this one is based, The Romantic Manifesto, should be on the shelf and in the hands of anybody who has any interest in art; Alexandra York's From the Fountainhead to the Future is a wonderfully passionate book which oozes with the analytical fire this book hasn't.

Her heroes yearn, and in some cases strive, for the birth (or rebirth) of a thriving school of Romantic Realism or idealistic modern representative art.
This goes to show that Romantic Realism is a difficult form of art to make, because it ambitiously seeks to integrate the exceptional and the natural.

 Survival Arts: Quent Cordair Fine Art in Burlingame, California
Thanks to my London friend Monica White for alerting me to the Quent Cordair Fine Art gallery in Burlingame, California, a haven for (apparently very good) representionalist art, which is billed as "Contemporary Romantic Realism." I suspect very much that Quent Cordair was heavily influenced by Ayn Rand's "Romantic Manifesto":
Romantic Realism, the movement which renews the high esthetic standards and techniques of pre-20th century ateliers, brings a rebirth of comprehensibility, beauty, romanticism and stylization to contemporary subject matter.
The gallery's collection emphasizes themes which celebrate the moments of happiness, joy and success possible to Man on earth.
