The artists solicited for this journal represent some of the most technically endowed contemporary painters. Each was asked to give an explanation of his or her philosophy of art. In addition to these statements, we have chosen traditional philosophers to write essays on the issues raised by contemporary representational painting. Hopefully this venture will help instigate a dialogue that is growing among the artists themselves, but often overlooked by the art establishment and public.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to publisher Stephen Smith for producing this beautiful issue&#8230; and for including me in it. I&#8217;m honored to keep company with such an illustrious group of artists:<\/p>\n<div title=\"Page 100\">\n<p>Martin A. Arnold,\u00a0Javier Arizabalo, Ryan S.
