Understanding and appreciating art is a very fuifdcilt task. I finally began to truly grasp it after having read A Brief History of Time and The Grand Design, both written by Stephen Hawking. This stunning author only writes about modern physics. Yet he is fundamental to understanding the whole process. According to him, millions of universes and realities exist all very different and could possibly seem uncouth to us. Time as we feel it does not at all exist. We train our minds to the contrary.Thus, one must be very open to all kinds of possibilities and experiences in art. They contain many universes, many visions and comprehensions of what we denominate art. It follows that an overview of it should be devoid of moral judgement. It would then seemTracey Emin's controversial view in art (as many artists usually do) easily finds its place in the art of the 20th century. A singular instance of a larger reality.
