I recently read All the Beauty in the World by Patrick Bringley and I think a lot of you would like it. It's about his job as a guard at the Met in the time after his brother passed away, and the ways the beauty of the art around him helped him feel his grief and heal from it. There's also a scene that was moving to me, when his brother is dying and says he thinks he has been a good person. It drove home that when I die, I want to be able to say that.
I have been collecting memes and pictures that are comforting to me to look at when things are hard. Klimt is really beautiful.
The first time I was physically moved by art was seeing Winged Victory at the Louvre. My husband got me a reproduction for Christmas and we have it in our room now. I love it.
