Our most valuable resource has provoked artists generations before and after. This relentless force has enthralled countless writers, scientists and philosophers. To them, time is a game played by the young, an illusion, a dream. “Five minutes are enough to dream a whole life,” says Uruguayan poet and journalist Mario Beneditti, “that is how relative time is.” Despite all the romance and resistance, our lives are ruled by time. We deal with urgency too early or too late. See how artists on Stew visualize this unique, slippery and mind-boggling concept, from symbolism to hidden meanings, browse art about time that captures the amber of the moment. Art has a unique way of precisely segmenting the details and preserving them. Art brings out life’s timelessness.
“Time…It is like a momentary vacuum into which rushes all that I love.”— Vladimir Nabokov
