Henry Ward Beecher once said, “Every artist dips his brush in his soul and paints his nature into his paintings.” Many argue that art cannot be exemplified; art can be anything tunes, strokes, taste, or clicks. It is all about perspective. It is a diverse range of humanity and its creation. Art is a way of expressing. Its characteristics change over time, acquiring more of a graceful component. How art shapes and is shaped by the visionary instincts of the artists.
