It is easy to become emotionally involved with an artificially created likeness. That has always been true. There are people who have fallen in love with the noble features of a Greek marble statue while others have embraced the muscular back on a drawing by Michelangelo. Who has not shared the sorrow of the painted mother bearing her dead child in her arms? Works of art may be true to life, but they are never flesh and blood. Yet they can still inspire us as much as the truth.
