David Jon Kassan稍纵即逝的瞬间变成具体的记忆
王国维曾肯定地说，哲学和艺术是“天下最神圣、最尊贵而无与当世之用者”，“愿今后之哲学美术家，毋忘其天职，而失其独立之位置”。也有人说“艺术远没有生活重要，但是没有艺术，生活就会有些贫乏了”。探索奇妙的艺术世界，就是一个发现美、欣赏美、享受美、感悟美的过程，她能洗涤人的内心，净化人的灵魂。
对于艺术家来说，艺术创作的过程是艰辛的，正如美国画家惠斯勒所说“艺术可遇不可求--它不会因为你是平民而对你视若无睹，也不会因为你是王公而对你青眼有加。天时未到，即使是最睿智的人也不能使艺术品诞生。”对此我国艺术大家齐白石也曾说“作画妙在似与不似之间，太似为媚俗，不似为欺世。学我者生，似我者死”。

我们是致力于推广“艺术世界”真、善、美的公众平台，让世界艺术与我们对话。人类命运共同体、世界地球村概念是当今时代的声音，如果你不认同请移步。谢谢！

In Epilogue, a young woman floats against a gray background littered with large letters that don’t spell recognizable words.
She wears a gray slip and looks troubled. She turns her face away from us and holds her shoulders back; her bony knees touch.......
