The Alpha Seer understanding true art

ESSAY BY MASTER OLIVIA MARTIN, in praise of the great Knox Martin

Filed under: Uncategorized — MASTER BEN LAU @ 10:26 am

Growing up with Knox, as my father, is an experience
and adventure that is unique.
My brother Jonathan, my sister Alma, and I had
what was unconventional then in the ’50s.
Which was, a father being home with the kids,
and the wife working. This arrangement enabled
Knox to develop his art, painting, drawing, sculpting,
and intense study of art through books and
weekly visits to the various museums in New
York.We went everywhere with him.
My mother Isabel, a Spanish beauty, who was also
a Flamenco dancer, gladly contributed to Knox, as
she saw the genius in him.
Knox, by his own keen interest, has trained his eye
to be able to perceive exactly what is there. To
view a painting at a museum or an art book with
Knox is to have one’s own perception intensified,
not only to how to look at art, and what the
painting really is doing, but to one’s environment
as well. Colors, shapes and beauty are at once
vivid all around.
Through the years, Knox’s perception is clearer
and astonishing. Recent visits to two New York
museums demonstrate this. Certain works of art
of the past were misnamed, or misidentified.
One trusts the establishment, but when one is
with an Alpha Seer, as my father is, be ready to
have authority questioned.
Knox, through his ability to see what is there in
art, from the ancient Egyptians along a certain
identified lineage of master artists, which has
been outlined in this book, has a quest to impart
the knowledge he has and continues to develop
ways to convey this.
This quest is of a generous nature and meant to
lift society’s awareness as a whole and not to lose
where art came from.
Ben Lau, Alpha Seer, has gathered this knowledge
in homage to Knox, enabling others to be Alpha
Seers as well.
—Affectionately, Olivia

My Father, Alpha Seer
