During times or war or during economic hard times it seems sometimes hard to focus on art or on any of the non-necessities of life. In an article by W. B. Pollock, Jr., in American Artist Magazine, January, 1944, he challenges the artist-craftsman to "make his skills a weapon of war". He goes on to suggest that during peacetime as in war man needs recreation. It could also be argued that art is a necessity for all.
An easy and inexpensive way for the art lover, student of, or art teacher to continually experience and learn more art about art is to read. Perhaps a museum catalog, a book or an art magazine could be the answer.
Nella's Books and Collectibles has a nice selection of art books, art catalogs both new and used. Magazine back issues are also available.
