Art and Beauty

Blog About Art, Beauty and Techniques
“Art, used collectively for painting, sculpture, architecture and music, is the mediatress between and reconciler of nature and man. It is, therefore, the power of humanizing nature, of infusing the thoughts and passions of man into everything which is the object of his contemplation..”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Through a piece of art, no matter if a painting or a sculpture, we can try to get in touch with the thought of an artist or, at least, with his/her aesthetic vision of an era.
