    1. Art is a reminder of beauty. The soul needs beauty.
    2. I love the Art of . . . books (like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse -The Art of the Movie) that discuss the art design of movies, because I find art to be very soothing. This might be because my parents used to read picture books to me at bedtime.
    3. Artists are very sensitive. That’s why they are skilled at depicting the human condition. But some great gifts come at a cost.
