The great Jewish painter Marc Chagall once said, “Great art picks up where nature ends.” That may be true.
But of course, not all of us are destined to be Chagalls. That doesn’t mean a love for the arts and culture doesn’t reside within the heart of virtually every human being, a need to express their creativity, identity, perspective and understanding of the world in some form or another. Art is an essential part of the human experience that helps inspire, challenge and even, at times, heal us. It enables us to make sense of what we believe are our emotional truths in a world of chaos and confusion.
