The beauty of practical objects should always be created without interfering with their practical use. Even more than this, their utility should be enhanced by beautiful forms and lovely colors. Such an ideal is am’– realized in Japanese industrial arts. The most noteworthy of Japanese industrial arts are the ceramic arts, lacquer wares, textiles and metal-work.

  • When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it – a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand – as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it’s bad art. Marc Chagall
The arts are fundamental to our humanity. They ennoble and inspire us—fostering creativity, goodness, and beauty. The arts help us express our values, build bridges between cultures, and bring us together regardless of ethnicity, religion, or age. When times are tough, art is salve for the ache.
