Kings come and go
But art speaks to the human soul
Art is immortality
This poem was inspired by a friend asking the question, “I'm good at art but does that even mean anything at the end of the day?”
Below is my full response:
We don’t hang business contracts from the Renaissance in museums. Nobody pays 100s, 1000s, or millions of dollars for something a lawyer did in 1782.
Kings come and go. But art speaks to the human soul. Art is immortality.
