Reading Art & Physics:parallel visions in space time and light, by Leonard Shlain, I came to a passage written by Teilhard de Chardin which says something like:’Art represents the furthest advance around man’s growing energy, the area in which nascent truths condense, take on their first form, and become animate, before they are definitively formulated and assimilated. This is the effective function and role of art in the general economy of evolution. Art is the singular harbinger of universal mind”.

Our society needs art today more than ever, yet it is least valued by most. Art is beauty. Beauty’s great purpose is to be pointless / useless. Beauty’s lack of function has the power to remove us out of context and provide experience available no where else. One should possess Art.
