Imagination

The idea is contagious. The beautiful is desirable. The naked is forbidden. The artist is the ultimate liar. By creating a copy of reality, the artist distances the work from the idea of the thing farther and farther away, thereby creating the new, the unexplored, the touching. The artist puts his or her experiences, emotions, and most exciting thoughts into the picture. The love to art makes our reality better and that's the lie we can afford.
