I don't know where you live.. But i cant think of anything /anywhere --where
it is possible to NOT have art in our daily living.. Maybe your don't hear
the music,, see the art, read the cartoons, notice the ads, look around your
house at your furnishings. All this is art... IF you are talking about not
eating on "hand made" dishes.. then you may be right. I, however, have seen
many sets of dishes..that would not pass as art in my house. Back off a
little and examine your surroundings.. There may not be as much art as you
wish.. but you are surrounded by it... thank goodness...............
