Day 1




This is an image from Mexico,
put on the internet by a tourist who also loves art and a soccer fan
Just like me, the tourist was attracted to the image not because of the beauty of the image but because of the beauty of the game. Art is not meant to be beautiful but the intention of the artist makes it beautiful and admired.
