That's something lacking in a lot of modern-day families - just talking. It's almost a lost art form.

Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It's the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe.
That is why we profess a spiritual kinship with primitive and archaic art.
It is, of course, traditional in children's literature to get rid of the parents.
Mom's paintings are a very small part of the legacy she left behind.

It is a peculiar art form, but I think it's a necessary art form - and I do believe it's a noble art form.
I come from a family that does not believe in art to this day. They think art is vanity.

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
All in the Family was intellectual; it was art.
