AB 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.
