Art and Practicalities

by naomi on July 22, 2009

There’s a strange symbiosis between art and practicality.

For instance, there’s artists who can market themselves and run a business. And there’s business minded people who are creative and artistic in their endeavours.

I’ve found that for every seemingly artistic success, there’s an underlying core of practicality and pragmatism. And for every practical masterpiece, there’s an underpinning of  creative, passionate people who invested their artistic talents to make it happen.

That’s why bridges are often the most beautiful structures – a perfect marriage of art and function.
