What
is Art For?
What does a painting or sculpture add to your home? Why would you
spend money on an object you can’t use? What kind of art do
you like? How do you know when you like it?
A piece of art is meant to give extra life to your environment.
The energy created by a painting on your wall changes your home.
A well-crafted art piece of any kind can contain humor, joy, or
love. You could be challenged intellectually, inspired, or even
humbled. Art can remind you of things much greater than you. Art
can bring you peace.
When you look at any kind of artwork, look inside yourself at your
emotions. If you identify with a sculpture or photograph or anything,
that feeling is your guide. Do not follow your neighbor or a magazine
or a museum. Only you know what touches you. If you are moved by
a piece of art, and can afford it - buy it and bring it home.
Art is handmade. Artists create all types of images. These images
come from the mind, heart, and spirit. They deal with all aspects
of being human. Art nourishes, questions, and uplifts. Enrich your
life with art.
