"Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'" -Edgar Allan PoeYou are cordially invited to witness Edgar Allan Poe's macabre creations as imagined through the veil of artist David Edgerly's soul.
