One of the things that separates humans from our relatives in the animal kingdom is our sense of aesthetics. We can appreciate the beauty of a sunset, revel in the crispness of a cool mountain morning, and be moved by the lyrics and melody of a touching song. As a society, our sense of aesthetics is evident in the importance we place on museums of fine art, where pictures and photographs hang on the walls, and sculptures are on exhibit. As individuals, the art we choose to display in our homes can reflect both our personal sense of aesthetics and our personalities.
