Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the transcription of the speech delivered by Judge Rouleau at a concert in 1890. It delves into the debate on the value of art, highlighting the significance of creativity and imagination in society. The author argues that artists, with their ability to elevate and inspire, play a crucial role in the progress and identity of nations. Drawing inspiration from the story of the cicada and the ant, the author juxtaposes the perspectives of those who prioritize material wealth with those who embrace the arts and culture. He asserts that while economic prosperity is essential, it is the pursuit of ideals, expressed through artistic endeavors, that truly defines a people. Tracing the historical contributions of France and the Catholic Church to the preservation and advancement of the arts, the author underscores the transformative power of artistic expression. He suggests that true national greatness stems from cultivating intellectual and spiritual elements alongside material well-being. The book concludes by praising the artistic talents of French Canadians, citing notable figures such as Albani and Frà chette. It expresses optimism for the future of French Canadian culture, envisioning a society that harmoniously blends industry with the arts, like the intertwining of wheat and laurel leaves in a crown of achievement.
