"What is...ART"...
The REDCROSS of ART!
The Story
Pablo Picasso
"What Is Art"-Leo Tolstoy
Sometimes people who are together are, if not hostile to one another, at least estranged in
mood and
feeling till perchance a story, aperformance, a picture, or even abuilding, but most often of all
music, unites them all as by an electricflash, and in place of their
former isolation or even enmity they are all
conscious of union and mutual
love. Each is glad that another feels
what he feels; glad of the
communion established, not only between
them and all present,
but also
with all now living, who will
yet share the same impression;
and more than that,they feel the mysterious gladness of a
communion which,
reaching beyond the grave, unitesus with all
huemans of the past who have been moved by the same feelings,
and with all them of the future who will yet be touched by them. And this effect is produced both by the religious art which transmits
feelings of love to Creator and oneʹs neighbor,
and by universal art ... transmitting the very simplest of
feelings
common to all men.
