Art always tells a story. It is a language familiar to all cultures with imagery having deep echoes in specific cultures as well as imagery familiar to humanity in its entirety. Visual images are a timeless snapshot that provides many clues about the zeitgeist in which it was created and the internal world of the creator.
The human brain reads all the information imbued in a piece of art and integrates this information into all the systems of the viewer. Intellect, emotion and spirit are fed in ways that bring more shape and density to the individual. The result is a more ripened individual who, in turn, makes his or her mark on the human fabric. This perspective suggests that just as with any 'food', it is wise to be considerate of what is consumed.
