Opposed to finding TRUTH in SCIENCE, which is a general problem (universal rational path) that can largely be defined independent of the context, TRUTH finding in ART is a personalized problem (private emotional path) that is fully dominated by the context. In the ART approach we could start with literature in which case one has to read a large set of books and starting points are difficult to give. In general Shakespeare and Proust are accepted as top but not of the pops. In music it is not clear if TRUTH can be found, but listening to music will contribute to understanding the world of emotions, as a start listen to my 100 seconds (1 hs) tastelinkers or my top of the pops selection. However, reading and listening will take a lot of time, a better alternative is to study pictures, "a picture is worth a thousand words" and can be interpreted fast, so here we go with a Dutch bias view on reality:
