something to give a man the opportunity to see things differently, 

and to change his point of view.”

  4. There are two pictures on the wall of my eye doctor’s reception room. An impression of a vase of flowers and a realistic view of a roman villa with many marble looking columns.
    You have to look somewhere – besides staring at the other patients – so I really understand this quote. Every six months for years I have explored those pics and made up stories. lol

  9. My goodness, the quote is perfect and the art is exactly what he said. Klee is one of the five ‘forbidden artists’ that changed Eric Carle’s life when he was in Nazi Germany. Shortly before Carle died, he had an exhibition of his art that was a tribute to Klee. I was lucky enough to see it. Thank you for the post today, Beth.
