 THE ARTISTIC IMPULSE
A work of art symbolically prolongs the artists existence. This parallels the pervasive
feeling that by having children one is ensuring genealogical continuity. Several artists have
made such a connection. In an anecdote about Giotto, the fourteenth-century italian artist,
the poet Dante asks why Giottos children are so ugly and his paintings so beautiful; Giotto
replies that he paints by daylight but reproduces in the darkness of night.
