I really loved this lecture. If you're familiar with Lewis' other work, you'll love his minimalist
approach to the art born out of maximizing the effect with the most practical method achievable.
Lewis really does have a gift with simplicity that a professional strives for. The ironic
arc of artistic maturity begins with simplicity, and then inclines towards complexity. Many people
stay either at the foot of the hill or at the top and specialize--but the master, when seeing the
end of the trail, will begin to carve his own through the woods.
Lewis has not only
summitted the mountain, but has carved a trail back down and onward towards exciting places. If you
are coming with the right expectations--this lecture is a brilliant sampling of Lewis' work on
method, effect, and justification.
