Artists Religion

From the supposed
slave religion
to the
artist religion
because
 
every woman
is an artist
every man
is an artist
 
and
writing
a poem after Auschwitz
is perhaps barbaric
 
an autonomous prayer
is being with THEE
 
how will I
have lived
at the end of my life

Joseph Beuys, Every Man is an Artist
Theodor W. Adorno, Cultural Criticism and Society
