Speaking of art, some may find it too highbrow and mysterious for ordinary people to appreciate, so they refrain from proactively enjoying it or learning about it. When was the last time you went to an art exhibition or a concert? And when was the last time you read an art book? Many people refrain from taking part in art activities. After all, in this fast-paced society, people prefer to use their time for things that they deem “useful.”
This book includes a page showing a photograph titled Divorce in Moscow. This black-and-white picture taken by Eve Arnold shows a divorcing Russian couple sitting on a bench, looking in different directions. The woman looks sad and lonely, while the man seems angry with his back bent and hand held to his cheek. Though they sit next to each other, they are emotionally separate. One can clearly sense the helplessness and sorrow in this photo. No caption is needed for people to relate to it, because the feelings inspired by it transcend both borders and age. This work of art serves as a warning, reminding us to live in the moment.
This picture and many other examples given by the book show that art is part of ordinary life. We can actually use art as a form of therapy to heal our psychological wounds, satisfy our emotional needs, and increase our self-knowledge. Thus, we can live a better life.
