- Keith HaringA painted landscape is always more beautiful than a real one, because there`s more there. Everything is more sensual, and one takes refuge in its beauty. And man needs spiritual expression and nourishing. It`s why even in the prehistoric era, people would scrawl pictures of bison on the walls of caves. Man needs music, literature, and painting-all those oases of perfection that make up art-to compensate for the rudeness and materialism of life.
