Art/Robert Webb
The gift that keeps giving
"Give the gift that keeps on
giving" is one of the standard
lines frequently heard this time
of year For most products the
phrase contains a certain
amount of hyperbole, but in the
field of art, the statement rings
true
A good work of art, be it
sculpture, oil, watercolor,
carving, print, or even inexpen
sive poster, can change as we
change, our appreciation for it
grow as we grow
