Esteem for art

Reading the philosopher Kalil Gibran’s quotation “Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed” makes us aware that we need to give esteem toward art as well as toward artists.

Daily life could become boring because it seems routine and predictable. Art can open our eyes toward seemingly daily things by expressing a new and surprising side.

For opening our eyes, art deserves to receive esteem. We can give esteem toward art and artists by visiting galleries, cinemas, concerts, theaters and museums.

And don’t forget the artists. The best moment for giving esteem toward art is when we have the opportunity to meet the artist himself.
