The next question perhaps... what makes a great buyer and collector of art? And how is art appraised and appreciated by those who do not create it? The other side of this tension is perhaps the weight needed to balance our understanding of artistic value, and perhaps holds a part of the answer to our quest for beauty. In other words, what forces the creation of beauty when it does not align with value? And what do these buyers think they are capturing? Perhaps status, emotion, or a connection to something greater. In any case, the communication that appears through art seems ineffable, but you will know it when you see it.

I enjoy your posts immensely. Please keep it up!
