The Meaning of Art

The imagination is our most mysterious aspect. It connects our conscious with our subconscious. It allows us to explore our inner self and fill that urge to understand our ever changing body, mind and universe. It is the most important part of every one of us.

"When it comes to eras like Paris the 1920s, Berlin in the 1930s and Greenwich Village in the 1940s, you saw scenarios where composers boozed it up with painters, dancers traded ideas with poets and
