Art for art’s sake. A term I’ve used, though to be honest I only looked up its origin yesterday. What I’m getting at here, in the age of “Meta,” is that it’s wonderful to be moved by … anything. At least that’s how I’m feeling these days.
And, I think it’s okay if one prefers to avoid debate about why they find something moving. Or lovely. Or my personal favorite, refreshing. It’s also okay if you want to avoid blogs where someone bloviates about their art-related thoughts.
But I do hope you like some of the pictures here. And if you don’t, I hope you find yourself encountering something that does move you. Or cheer you. Or rattle you, in a good way. And then I hope you make or do something that makes someone else feel that way, too.
Because I’ve got to believe we can all do this for each other, in one way or another.
