Once people were done catching mammoths and finding caves for the night, they started painting beautiful images in those caves. Human basic needs have not changed since. Once we have food and shelter, we need art to feed our souls.
This is a site for you to feed your soul with stories about fine art and interesting movies. You do not have to do anything here. Just relax and read for your pleasure.
