“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Before the session I had asked Jane if Seth could give me some more data on the art and gallery material begun in the last session. I was going to try to put it to practical use, I told Jane not to try too hard, though, to get more data. She said that the impetus would be strong to help me on these subjects. I was a little surprised to hear Seth start right in on the gallery data.)

The man has been himself an artist, therefore. He may be the uncle of the man who runs the gallery, per se, but he has a strong voice in the gallery. At one time connected with the school of ashcan art. Do you follow me?

(Later Jane confirmed that she’d heard of the ashcan school of art.)

His ideas have changed through the years. (Pause.) Give us time. There will be a man called Art, as Arthur, but called Art, also connected with this establishment.

Now listen: do not take it for granted that those who do not show your type of art are against it, or will not want it. In New York now, and across the country, it is difficult to find objective work that is not highly stylized or sentimentalized.

So at first this gallery will seem to you unsuitable. If I had not told you this you would pass it by, thinking they wanted only abstracts, or your, is it—pop art?

(“Yes.” This material refers to some remarks I had made earlier, about trying to list galleries in New York City that I thought might be interested in my type of art, judging from their advertisements.)
