the intellect or moral sense. The manifestation of life in art is one of the most sublimely beautiful things that I have ever encountered. C.S. Lewis described art’s worth when he wrote‚ “Art has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which gives value to survival.” I believe that is the real point behind art; to bring a kind of contentment that is logistically unnecessary‚ yet remarkably important.
