What can arts tell us of the life that science cannot?
Where science is able to record certain measurable "facts" from the events of our world and life, art is able to record the emotional, political, and personal attitudes and reactions to those events of our life.
The painting "Geurnica" by Pablo Picasso is a well known painting displaying the devastation that the Spanish Civil War had caused the town of Guernica. Where science may be able to look at the buildings and land of this town and measure the physical affects of that war, the painting can show the emotional reactions and reflect the devastation which that war caused the people of Guernica.
