Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.

About This Quote

When I first saw this quote, I found it to be very true. Art and love are two things that are very similar. Often times, art is used to communicate messages that cannot be easily expressed any other way. When you look at a piece of art, you see yourself in it.

Perhaps, you could see where the artist was coming from or what they were trying to say. Art is also something that can be done by anyone. No matter how much money you have or where you live, you can create art that expresses your special message.

Art is something that people love because it makes them feel better about themselves and their life.
