Art has long been recognized as one of the finest contribution of mankind to future generations. The artist is intrinsically connected and representative of the time and place he lives in. Art has been the genesis of controversy, the spark of rebellion, and the quiet rumble of change. Often the shift in a cultural era is visible on canvas as it reveals the heart of a people or nation just as much as it depicts the subject being painted. What better window on history than the gilded and framed creations of the past and present and the interaction of those creations with the society that gave them life.
