People speak of its capacity to shock, awe, inspire, and bring joy.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the art world can feel like an exclusive club, a gated community and a silo of culture reserved only for those who are in the know. Although Zatista and other progressive organizations have been working hard to share incredible art with the world and break down boundaries, this perception still exists in some circles. Oftentimes, alongside this feeling of exclusivity comes a certain air of seriousness. While seriousness and somber emotions are valuable, the world of art is, of course, far broader.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zatista.com\/product\/details\/20536\/Idiot-talking-on-the-phone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" \" title=\"Idiot Talking on the Phone by Jed Williams on Zatista.com\" src=\"https:\/\/zatista-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/products\/7463_t63dncspqrnronf8no412hnke0_jnug1imTfzqBxTwI_1_390x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Idiot Talking on the Phone by Jed Williams on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Once we take art back to an emotional level, the spectrum with which we classify it increases infinitely and truly opens up to match the breadth of the spectrum of our emotions. One very important emotion that (although present in many places) seems to be quite easily forgotten in others, is humor. Humor and art have a very strong connection.<\/p>\n<p>Visual art is frequently used as a vehicle to push boundaries. It can be controversial, and often some of the leading thoughts at the forefront of society are manifested in cathartic artistic expression. Humor is also a powerful medium and is frequently a means for pushing boundaries.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zatista.com\/product\/details\/10744\/First-Cup\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" \" title=\"First Cup by Ralph Verano\" src=\"https:\/\/zatista-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/products\/2198_j2mosav97krekmja80sidoitd5_i02522z7fc7aKQ0p_1_390x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">First Cup by Ralph Verano on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So, let\u2019s open up our artistic horizons to truly explore how it can make us feel and laugh a little along the way.
