Quoting Clark: > Works of art would be cherished because they were > beautiful, not because they were rare.
FWIW, here's a book cover illustration presenting one of my art works used for the front cover of the German translation of Clarke's "Profiles of the Future". http://svjart.orionworks.com/publication-list.htm Scroll to the bottom of the page. Second to the last item: "Arthur C. Clarke PROFILE DER ZUKUNFT". (Website still under re-construction.) Unfortunately, at the moment I don't have a larger graphic image of the original art. I believe the German translation was published back in the mid 1980s. I hope Douglas Adams and Clarke are enjoying a couple of good knee slappers right now - just between the two of them - and especially because of the fact that they were both atheists in good standing. --- Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
