Response to "The Whole Ball of Wax" by Jerry Saltz

In this article, Saltz writes about how art can change the world. At first, this sounds unreasonable, but with further explanation, we learn that art can have a major impact in less measurable ways than curing diseases or solving world hunger, although that would be nice. Art, however can
"change the world incrementally and by osmosis" (Saltz) because it is a part of the universal force. I also like how he brought in Eric Fischl's ideas into the article about how art is like a cat in the way that it is hard to understand cats, and in order to, you must "be able to grasp this nonlinear, indirect, holistic, circuitous communication" (Saltz).
