An Artist's Affirmation

Young woman before wedding

"Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art." — Leonardo da Vinci

 

I say this all the time it seems — there is so much more to art than a pretty picture. Leonardo da Vinci's quote hits the nail on the head and makes the importance of art more evident to any wondering mind.

If you needed an affirmation today on why what you do matters, 👆🏻 this is it.

Photos, paintings, sculptures, and all other forms have preserved history, kept families together immobilized in time, and provided avenues of expression for ideas that sometimes were too dangerous to speak aloud.

Art did that.

Not science, not literature, not mathematics. It was art. Besides, how much more interesting is a book when you have photos to go along with it? Even if it is just the cover of the book?

You can't separate art from us. It is ingrained in our society to help us learn, help us market, help us remember, help us explain, help us express, and help us do so much more.

So, here is your affirmation, artist.

 

What you do is so important it has been used throughout history to make a difference.
