Is Art Important?
That is a question foryourart has been asking artists, writers, curators, museum directors, politicians and musicians in their on-going series of the same name.
Here's what American novelist and well-known figure within the art world, Frederic Tuten has to say:
"When Andy Warhol was asked what was art, he said, 'Isn't that a guy's name?' It was an evasion, but I understand why. Almost anything you could say about art–why it is important or what it means–is doomed to sounding pretentious. With that risk in mind, I say that at the least art modifies, ameliorates the hardships, the sadness of life, and at best, it gives us joy as nothing but love can."
I like his answer because for me it reinforces that living with art or living in a creative home can simply make one happy. Here are some great examples of living with art that go beyond the traditional and are clever, accessible, playful, dramatic, and appealing.
When it comes to art, the options are endless. How do you bring art into your world?
