Example of the Artist

There are a multitude of historical and present day artists that represent the many expressions of the Archetype Number 3: Inventor and painter Leonardo DaVinci, Painter Vincent Van Gogh, Sculptor Pablo Picasso, Painter Georgia O’Keefe, Actress Meryl Streep, Actor and Director Robert Redford.
Comedian and actor Robin Williams was a modern day example of how the Number 3’s self expression, joy of living, and the divine child can be demonstrated.

Here is a quote from Will Vought, who played Williams’ role of the Genie in the Disney California Adventure’s stage production of Aladdin: “He (Robin Williams) had the possibility to fully create a world from scratch and take us there while standing alone onstage using only his gifts. He was a brilliant joke writer but also a master of voices, physical comedy and creating characters that we’ve never seen before. A Mozart of voices that redefined stand-up comedy, no one ever saw or heard anything like Robin Williams and likely never will again.”
