| Riepilogo: | An important, but understudied, part of the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard refers to aesthetics and the arts. In the first part, the article explores Hubbard’s aesthetics and its connections with the larger system of Dianetics and Scientology. Hubbard’s ideasabout art history, art and communication, color, perspective, and artistic techniques are also discussed. In the second part, the article reviews the works of several artists, some of them internationally famous, who took Scientology’s Art Courses and remained, or are today, active in Scientology, and asks the question whether and how Hubbard’s aesthetics inspired their productions. |
