Suggestion:

If you are interested in reading something truly beautiful on the subject of art, something that may grip your heart and perhaps even bring tears to your eyes, you can do no better than to find a copy of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Nobel Lecture. It is also valuable as containing the clearest explanation of Dostoevsky's statement, 'Beauty will one day save the world', which he made in his speech at the unveiling of the Pushkin memorial.
