I'm starting a new book about three of my favourite artists, Carr, O'Keeffe, Kahlo: Places of Their Own by Sharyn Rohlfsen Udall. Here is a quote from the Introduction:
"Each artist was vitally interested in the native cultures of her area. However romantically tinged, the perceived authenticity of indigenous peoples helped these artists measure their own. Indigenous peoples seemed to hold keys to the primordial spirits of place and nature, and all three artists explored the healing power of native myth as an antidote to personal fragmentation in the modern world."
I know it isn't just artists who sometimes feel fragmented by the experiences of this modern world. That is why we need to reconnect to what is important in life.
Namaste.
