The Purpose Of Art

The Purpose Of Art
The famous late artist Picasso once said " The purpose of art is washing the dust off our souls". I don't know exactly what he meant by those words, but if I were to venture a guess, I think it would be safe to say, he meant whenever one is viewing art (or creating art, no matter the form or style), for a brief moment you are mentally transported to a place and time where your troubles, frustrations, stress, etc., no longer seem to exist or matter. 

   Art can almost simultaneously, allow one to visit places in the past, present, and future. It can change a sad mood to a joyful mood, it can turn strife in our lives to calmness. While it is not a cure-all for ones problems, or a long term "fix", for the period of time we spend viewing, creating or being involved in art, it can certainly enhance our lives.
