Art as Consolation

I discovered a very moving painting last year titled "The Cycle of Terror and Tragedy" by master artist Graydon Parrish.  September 11 was a very tragic day in the lives of Americans and Graydon's painting helps us to cope with our loss.  He speaks very eloquently about allegory, truth, beauty, and the trans-formative power of art in a series of YouTube videos discussing this painting.
