I read a post recently that decried making #art for art’s sake in such troubled times.

I heartily disagree.

Making art, no matter the purpose, brings joy and beauty into a world sorely lacking in both. Sure, art can be a form of protest, but let’s not be limiting the Muses when we need them most.

Picasso's Guernica is an object lesson as to why the statement to not make art in troubled time is ridiculous

art is about emotion and expression

troubled times is also about emotion and expression
