"The Whole Ball of Wax" by Jerry Saltz Reflection
My initial thought to the belief that art has transportive powers was one of concurrence. Art dates back to the beginning of time, and I do feel a strong connection to even cave art, for example. There is that undeniable truth that another human with a beating heart once created that piece of art, as a capsule of time. I also agree that although Art can't physically change the world, it does influence humanity in positive and negative ways. Both inspiring those to curate a more positive way of life, or may spark a negative passion in someone to take action on a buried emotion that the art could have provoked. Overall, what I think this reading pointed out the most was that when you look at art, you can't not feel something. It subconsciously has a affect on you, great or small; it opens another door to a parallel thought process. Art is a cat. Art is provoking. Art is life.
