"For art lovers, collecting paintings and sculptures is about much more than a financial investment. It's a means of self-expression. As the late Belgian artist Jean Willy Mestach once said. 'Tell me what you collect, tell me how you collect, and I will tell you who you are.' The pieces we choose to acquire may convey a meaningful story, capture a fond memory, or represent a period in art history we admire. In the end, it's always a personal choice. In the following pages, we've rounded up a diverse sampling of fine artworks to help you navigate the wide and wonderful world of collecting" (Southwest Art, October 2018, pg. 102).
