Love and art are two words that cross paths at many different levels. To possess to the talent of artistry, one must be able to channel the feeling of love. This emotion can be a trigger of both positive and negative energy that are the inspiration for some of the world's most beautiful works of art.

The emotion of love is universal. It is felt in every culture and in many different ways. From the love a mother to the passion of a lover, there are different levels that make up the world of love. It is for this reason that passionate art is so often sought out in the purchase of art.

Given this feeling, it is no wonder that this emotion often plays the muse for many famous works of art. It has been used throughout history in many different forms. From canvas to sculpture, the message of love through art is endless.

The artists are very aware of the significance that love plays in their ability to channel the emotions necessary to paint. They pride themselves on exercising the impact of this emotion and turning it into noteworthy works of art.

It is a beautiful incident when an artist is capable of capturing the hearts of their viewers, by channeling a fond memory or deep emotion form their viewer. This feeling is what art is made of and the main reason people seek out this kind of work.

Although there are many quotes from artists throughout history about the effects of love on their art, this particular one is ceratinly at the top of my list:
