Pictures and Perception

When reading this article, I largely agreed with Schwartz. I think he is trying to emphasize that artists and their work can provide perspective in the culmination of truth. Artwork allows the viewers to take what the creator sees as truth and interpret it, or to take that meaning and incorporate it into the truth as you see it. Truth, by definition, must be above all interpretation. Schwartz seems to be advocating that artwork adds to truth only if it has accurate points, and that it adds to the concept of truth if indeed, the artwork is accurate. Overall, I think Schwartz wants to emphasize that art has value to those who seek the truth.
