One of the greatest things about 'The Arts', Painting, Literature, Music, in my mind, is the sheer range of emotions it can produce. I look at this painting by Picasso and do not feel the same emotions but, by the same token, I can lose myself in a piece of music that others may find extremely irritating. I might rave over a book which some may find totally boring.
So, love it or loathe it, art is very personal and, as such, is to be encouraged.

Ah, my friend. If only that you were.
But that can never be.
There isn't room for two of us,
There is room for only me.

The Accolade - Edmund Blair Leighton
From the moment I saw this in an art shop, I had to have it. It drew me in immediately and now it has pride of place in my entrance hall with a candle sconce either side.

I'm a little baffled by your question, Anna. You were asking for paintings that move a person. This painting has been noted as one of the most moving paintings ever created. One may agree or disagree with that assessment, I suppose. But, to me, it always makes me want to cry, to see the painting and to think of lthe horror that Picasso was commemorating.
No problem, Larry. I'm afraid I've never been a fan of Picasso. Although I can see the point of his paintings I really don't like them so I tend to see them in a different light than those who do.

"Do you think maybe I could accompany you to a dance, or...?"
"I don't dance with soldiers."
"I could lose the uniform."
"I don't dance with naked soldiers."

Nice try, young E, just not good enough.
I don't bother with sleep or any of that stuff.
I'm never far but always near,
And I will always be right here!

I'm sure you know, by now you must,
That there are times when I am gone
But now I'm back so clear your dust.
This is my place, now move along!
Go on, then. Off you go...
