'Economics doesn't just fund art—it helps shape what gets seen and remembered' this such a powerful line, I'm going to remember this.
I love how honestly and curiously you've explored the topic Abhishek, it shows!
Art is so many things, I personally find it very hard to summarise but when I think of it I personally feel like - Art is to strike conversation, evoke emotion, connection and tell stories.
Edward Hopper's art that you've mentioned reminded me of the book 'lonely city - Olivia Laing' have you read it? I think you might enjoy it
thank you for sharing this beautiful investigative piece, and for letting us in with such a personal lens. if art is about feeling, i felt it. also, the Tarsila reference hit home for me, but that might just be my personal bias talking.
Any artworks by this artist you would recommend? My favourite artwork by Tarsila do Amaral was the, Operarious (The Workers) (1933) - https://www.moma.org/audio/playlist/48/741.
my fav tarsila piece is not very edge or ground breaking but it shows love, affection and color movements: “retrato de oswald de andrade / portrait of oswald de andrade” (1923). :)
Thanks for leaving this comment here Isa. I am glad you enjoyed this piece and found value in it and felt it too. Writing this helped me understand a lot of conflicted thoughts and emotions I associated with art. It freed me up a little bit to build of my associations first. I also slowly built empathy for the artist's journey and their important role in guiding human civilization from a historical perspective.

Thanks Forum. I really appreciate your detailed comments and notes. I haven’t read that book. So now it is on my TBR.
