Reality is as it changes, and flexibility in art is a visual likelihood of a thing's changing in space, while remaining what it is. As a stem of a flower sways in the wind, we have a sight of flexibility. Yieldingness as sight is much in pictures; the yieldingness that makes for strength is what we look for in art.

While some people may be more naturally gifted than others, there are many famous artists who have overcome any lack of natural talent through sheer determination and practice. So if you've ever wanted to learn to paint or draw, don't be discouraged!

The Human Condition (La condition humaine) is the title of four paintings by the Belgian surrealist René Magritte.
