Artists help focus our attention and awaken our senses.

We fill our senses with all manner of diversion and distraction, constantly consuming whatever micro-spectacle comes across our feed. But we rarely stop long enough to appreciate, understand, or critically evaluate any of it. Artists help focus our attention and awaken our senses. The painter or photographer literally frames one rectangle view of reality so we can see something (whether a landscape, still life, or portrait) in a more concentrated way.
