Art frames fragments of our world: paintings, poetry, novels, sculpture, dance, music help us to look at colors, sounds, bodies, events, characters - whatever - with full attention. Something is lifted out of the world and put into a frame so that we can, perhaps for the first time, see it. Most of the time we do not see: we pass a tree, an early spring crocus, the face of another human being, and we do not marvel at these wonders, because we do not see their specialness, their individuality, their difference.
