Title: Art vs. Religion
Review: Loved this book despite the slow start. Very deep, intellectual, and thoughtful. I'd recommend anybody looking to delve deep into the art world (visual, musical, or literary) read this book.My favorite quotes:"You should make the world pretty, Asher," my mother whispered, leaning toward me. I could smell her breath. "I don't like the world, Mama. It's not pretty. I won't draw it pretty.""Then help me with the brushes," he said. "A Jew should not only talk, he should also do."Sometimes I think the Master of the Universe has another world to take care of, and He neglects this world, God forbid.To touch a person's heart, you must see a person's face. One cannot reach a soul through a telephone.""So life would be precious, Asher. Something that is yours forever is never precious."I stared at my reflection in the train window. Come, journey with me through the centuries, my eyes said. One learns to walk decades.
