Dear Zev
For Camus, art is one way to answer the absurdity of existence, and by the time of L'homme Revolte' he saw it as an important way to affirm the value of human life. But I don't believe the mere expression of a world view in art is necessarily life affirming...watch Betty Blue sometime.
"For beauty is the beginning of terror we are still able to bear, and why we love it so is because it so serenely disdains to destroy us" Rilke's First Duino Elegy
